Kiss of Snow
I thought we might get a little snow last night. It was raining and the temperature kept dropping. This morning there is a kiss of snow on the ground with the promise of more in the future. I am sure that once the temperature moves up a degree or two the snow will melt and very few will have seen it. The wind is vicious right now. I can feel the cold radiating off the windows. The cats have strategically placed themselves over the heaters and fallen asleep.
Got a few errands run yesterday including a trip to the DMV which took less than half an hour much to my surprise. I think I am fighting a cold or something that is sucking the energy out of my body. I keep sniffing and sneezing. Some other stuff happened in “the could be good or could be nothing” category.
Caroline has started to play with her little people and make up “stories”. She makes the various sounds that the animals make and moves them around. The people tend to babble her baby babble but there is some kind of structure to what she is doing. Last night she took a rubber dinosaur (roar or as she says Rhaaarrr) and had it duke it out with Mr. Incredible in an epic struggle of man vs. dinosaur. Wish I had been faster and gotten it on tape.
Peter also noticed a lot of imitative behavior on her part when she was with me in the kitchen. I was cooking dinner and she had a spoon, a bowl, and a plastic bottle of onion powder. When I was spicing the meal, she was shaking the bottle over the bowl and then stirring with the spoon. She wants to do what Mommy does. Which I find really cute.
The cosmic meltdown are becoming bigger and with more volume as she rapidly approaches the age of two. She also gets this furrowed brow right before the explosion which expresses her unhappiness with the situation at hand. We are going to a birthday party of a friend today and I am hoping she is going to behave herself today. Tomorrow I will have another go at my novel. I also have an idea for some artwork but that will be for another day.
I am grateful for snow.
