We have been stuck in the house along with the rest of North Texas going on the 4
th day now! This is brutal with a toddler, and I must admit we have been watching more TV around here than we normally do. On top of the weather, Luke also has a double ear infection and isn't feeling the best, poor little guy! We had planned on going to Fort Worth to see little Ben, and sadly those plans got cancelled. So sad, I am now having Ben withdrawals!
So yesterday instead of going to Fort Worth, we decided enough was enough, and went on an outing to
Walmart. I have never been so excited to walk around and see people! I will say that I may have gotten carried away and ended up spending $200 there, whoops! MOST of it was stuff we needed. ;) In reality, things could be much worse and we are so blessed to be in a warm cozy home with the people we love!
On Monday, prior to the big storm, we were able to go to Isabelle's house to see her new baby brother, Connor. He was born 3 days after Ben and is a tiny little thing. Luke gets a little confused when it comes to Connor. You see, he has never really been around many babies, and now that Ben is here we have been talking about "the baby" a lot. When the word "baby" is mentioned he automatically says "Ali!". Well when we went to see Connor, he got very confused that this baby is not Ali's. I'm sure he will figure it out eventually.
Here he is with the Big Sister.
They are such good buddies, and love sitting in the baby doll crib together. I think they are getting too big, so I don't see this lasting much longer.
Sweet baby Connor, 6 days old.
Ok and now what do you do with a toddler who is stuck in the house 4 days in a row...
You make brownies.
Jump on the bed.
Watch Sesame Street while wearing your Elmo house shoes.
And finally, eat breakfast while catching up on the
latest decorating styles in Pottery Barn Kids. As a side note, Luke has graduated to eating cereal in the morning. I put a tiny bit of milk in his bowl and he does very well with his spoon. As a bonus, he feels very cool eating cereal like Mommy and Daddy. =)
Well here is to another day inside. The snow is falling and we have at least 5 inches on the ground. Maybe I will get this kid outside for some fresh air this afternoon!

Cute post! And that last pic of him browsing the catalog is hysterical! He is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the cabin fever thing. I have not been out of the house since Monday, & I'm ready. I think it would be much harder if Kennedie were a little older, but she's been doing okay.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of Luke eating cereal & browsing the PB Kids catalog is so adorable!
