I can't hear you mom!

We started the week off with some music at Ensemble and headed to our little friend Elena's for some playtime after class. Dylan was obsessed with the spinning top and Elena had fun crawling in and out of the bottom shelf of the bookcase.

We enjoyed a teaser of beautiful weather before the 0.6 inches of snow on Friday night through Saturday morning took us into 4th snowiest winter on record.






At ECFE Dylan was very focussed, he played almost exclusively with the little cars he found.  He didn't even check out the water play area.  Our gluten-free kid caused a bit of a fuss when snack time came though.  Of course we had something different to everyone else and the little boy sitting next to Dylan wanted some!  I felt bad for the mom because the little boy in question is the oldest boy in the group, he is bigger than all the other kids and what some would call spirited.  As a result she spends all of her time managing his behavior.  I am sure that all she wanted for snack time was a little peace.  Anyway she managed to get him calmed and Dylan scoffed his snack before there were anymore upsets.

Thursday we popped out to the store for some ingredients (critical to whatever it was we were making).  When we got home I popped Dylan down in the garage while I retrieved the groceries.  He headed straight over to the lawnmower and pointed at the ear protection.  So I helped him put it on.  What a cutie.  I am told that this was not his first time trying out the ear protection and I can tell you there has been more fun with them since.




We also enjoyed some fun new games.  I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth one day when Dylan came in carrying one of Daddy's slippers.  Dylan threw the slipper into the shower and moved on to other activities. I left the slipper there because it wasn't causing me any problems them.  When Daddy came home he put one slipper on and there said where is the other one.  I remembering what happened to the slipper told him to ask Dylan.  Dylan, when asked, took Daddy straight to the bathroom and pointed in the shower.

There was also a little game of hide and seek Mama.  We were getting our shoes on to go out and I needed some socks.  I headed to the bedroom and after getting the socks I could hear this padding of feet coming to see what I was doing.  I decided to hide behind the door.  Dylan came to the door, looked and couldn't see me so when back to look for me elsewhere.  I called out to him "where's Mama?" and he came padding back.  He looked in the bedroom again and again retreated.  I called again and again and he popped his head around the corner of the door and found me.
