Clara's snowman

2 teeth

November 9 was the first snow of the season, and Clara was very excited. They built a snowman whom Clara named “Snowman Blue Flyer” and made snow angels. The white stuff didn’t stick around very long because the next few days were in the upper 50′s.

One of the pictures above captured Henry’s first 2 teeth. Although adorable and exciting, he’s used them more than once to bite me while nursing. They are sharp little things! Twice when I’ve screamed out loud in pain, I looked down at him only to find him smiling at me.

Eli came over to spend the night last night. I made popcorn and M&M’s and made a snuggle nest on the floor to watch “Tangled”. This morning Eli and Clara helped me make monkey bread. They played so well together and it was fun to see them interact in such an imaginative way.

This next week is parent-teacher conferences, which means long days and nights, one of which I won’t even see Henry because he goes to bed so early. It also makes for long days/nights for Leon, and I’m sure he’ll be looking for any excuse to get out of the house once I’m home. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving at Cara’s house. The night before Thanksgiving, Clara and I are attending “Disney on Ice: Treasure Trove”. I showed her a youtube clip of the show and she danced around with excitement when she spotted Eugene & Rapunzel. Hopefully she will be able to sit still throughout the show because I know I’ll enjoy it just as much as she does!
