 We took the boys sledding this weekend because we sort of had an abundance of snow and not much else to do. I think I've told you that already. Anyway, Caleb was in snow-eating heaven once again and everytime the sled stopped or it wasn't his turn to be on the sled he was shoveling the white fluffy stuff in his mouth as quickly as his little mittened hands could go. Most of the afternoon he wandered around in the snow sporting a very hip white goatee. Once I shoved him down the hill on the sled himself and then ran down after him only to find him sitting at the bottom of the slope, snarfing down handfuls, unphased by the freezing temperatures. I think if there was a snow-eating contest, Caleb would win, frost-bitten hands down.
Speaking of cuteness, I just climbed in bed next to Caleb. I'm exhausted and coming down with a cold, just in time for Christmas. My favorite. Anyway, Caleb rarely goes to bed in his own bed. I know, I know--I can hear you all screaming Super Nanny's name. But you can relax. We're working on it. Sort of. First we've gotta get Noah sleeping in his own bed. Then we'll work on Caleb. One thing at a time. But the point is, Caleb usually falls asleep right next to me, whether it's on the couch or on my lap or in my bed. I sort of like it. He is so delicious to cuddle with, you know. Usually I bring a bedtime snack with me, like ice cream or cereal, that we share. Tonight I climbed in bed next to Caleb but I had my computer with me instead of a bowl of ice cream. Caleb snuggled in and said, "You need ice cream to share with me." And I told him I didn't have any tonight and he said, "Go get some." "Nope," came my reply to which he said, "You need some food to share with me, Mommy." I wonder what he'd do if I brought a bowl of snow to bed with me. Bet I wouldn't even get a single bite.
