Monday was the first real snowfall in Southeastern CT. So much fell that schools were cancelled and Evan wanted to go out and play. Sure, he can't sit up on his own or really "play" as much as you and I but from the window, he spied a white-ness to the usually brown and green outdoors. So his fascination with the new scenery inspired a hands on approach to the learning. So we bundled up and explored. Evan reacted as usual to the cold and not much bothered. But as he sat on the snowy chair, he watched the snow falling... and looked confused... then he started to fall :)
I actually started this entry on Monday and it's now Friday... busy week. Evan is sleeping less during the day as his naps last about an hour. This means, however, he is starting to sleep through the night. So far it's been about 3 or 4 times this week and I think we finally can get a full night's sleep and still keep the household happy.
Last night, was another first for Evan and our family. We went out to a restaurant for dinner. It was a birthday celebration and we couldn't NOT go.... so Evan slept somewhat peacefully for most of the dinner. He even had the little boy in the next booth concerned when Evan would cry... but a little rocking and he was fast asleep. It was a success... I am sure our ability to take Evan out to restaurants will be short-lived until the days the Evan will be screaming, throwing food and just very excited about being at a restaurant.
TGIF!! Time to start the day.
