Playing outside is fun but cold!

So Many Friends, so little time.....

Today we had a lot going on. We had a long play date in the morning, a short play date in the afternoon, and then we had people coming over for dinner with kids. So for Levi, it was a marvelous day!

Hahahaha here is Levi playing hide and seek.

The Children's Museum and the Park

Levi is going to tell you about his day. I am just going to type the words he says.
"I'm hiding behind the door"
I'm playing with water.
I'm putting glasses on.
I'm playing with cars. Bo? cars.
There's Levi, going up the stairs. Going up the slide. Going to the children's Museum.
I'm walking at Miles.
Going down the slide.
That's Levi! I'm doing some work. I'm doing it on the other picture.
I'm swinging with Miles.
I'm doing the bulldozer!

General update

Levi has begun Phase 1 of potty training. This is the phase where he actually wants to sit on the potty, but he has no REAL idea of what he's supposed to be doing on it. In fact, I go so far as to say that " Going to the Potty" really means " story time without pants" to Levi. He saw his friend pee in the potty standing up, and this is him trying to do the same. No luck though, he still hasn't gone pee on the potty yet.
He is however, drinking from a big boy cup at the table. We only use sippy cups at night and when he's walking around. Hurray for Levi!
Patrick is doing good. He's pretty busy with Scouts and work, but he was just recognized at work for being a mentor across I.T. teams. So he is really enjoying his job and enjoying playing a game called Civilizations.
Here is Levi getting ready to go on his first sledding trip with Daddy. Mommy had some Primary visits to do so the two of them went sledding together.

Very Busy couple of Days

It has been a crazy couple of days filled with lots of playdates and church things, but I wanted to share a really cute experience I had with Levi tonight. Like all nights, as soon as little Levi is out of the bath tub, he wants to hide with mommy and have daddy find us both. Every night, he wants to hide in the EXACT same spot. We always hide behind Levi's bedroom door, and Levi always stares out of the crack to see when daddy comes.

Tonight, to mix it up a bit, Patrick starts yelling questions. " Levi, where are you?" I tell Levi not to answer, but he yells " I'm here Daddy!" Then Patrick starts asking questions like, "Are you in your room?" (Levi -"YES!"), "Are you hiding by the closet?" ( Levi - "I'm by the door!") and in short, showing me that Levi has no idea that hiding means staying out of notice for as long as possible.
