Where's my sweet boy?

He is making sure nothing escapes his watchful eye.
He is reading a book at Great-grandpa's.
He is helping Grandma and Aunt Sarah make his Cars quilt.
He is powdering his nose at Aunt Kirsti's.

P90Cael

Since Da-da-ee and Mom-mom are doing P90X, I decided to join in on the fun by riding the bike. I sweat a lot, so I need the headband to help with that.
I also lifted some weights with Mom-mom one day. Whew! What a workout!

Watching the Snow Fall

I used to think that parents were the ones who were supposed to teach their kids what they needed to know to get through life and thereafter. Yet, while I teach Cael to sing his ABC's and "You Are My Sunshine," he teaches me more powerful lessons. 

One day, I told Cael it was snowing. "So! So!" He said, and he went to see it outside our back door. He made himself comfortable and just watched the snow fall. I busily cleaned and ran around like a madwoman, per usual, while he quietly observed individual flakes falling to our dry earth.

I need to take a breath, slow down, and prop myself next to him more often.

After all, snow is a rarity around here, but time is ever fleeting.
