"Snowed In" Intentionally

After a week of traveling and having our routine all out of wack, Sebastian and I were due for some much needed down time. And so this past weekend I decided to declare us "snowed in". We spent the entire weekend at home, in pjs. It was wonderful! It was cold and snowy out, we were warm and cozy inside. We played with new Christmas toys, read books, watched Elmo and the Wiggles, ate whole wheat pancakes with peanut butter for breakfast (his new fav), painted, played catch with his new basketball, put CDs in his toy CD player (over and over and over), played parachute and peek-a-boo with the laundry and went upstairs to visit our neighbors (Titi and cousins) for dinner. It was perfect. We spent a lot of time acting silly and as always my little boy's smiles were priceless. Truly, enjoyable moments. And during his nap time I actually got to enjoy a movie while getting his baby books sorted and in order (an on-going project). I felt productive, yet relaxed. Nice, calm time, with nowhere to be. It was a great weekend with my little guy.
