The Sun was not shining, it was too wet to play...

I'm sitting here listening to Katherine "read" The Cat in the Hat to herself.  Its quite funny, I hate to stop her to tell her it's bedtime.  We've read it to her so many times she does know the story pretty well. I could probably recite the story by heart myself (hence the title of this post for those that have not read The Cat in the Hat in a while).

What have we been doing this week?  Keeping track of a little boy who wants to pull up ALL THE TIME.  I still don't have any pictures of him doing this because you can't leave him for a second.  Last week he perfected the pull up, this week he's already trying to transfer from one place to another, like from a chair to the coffee table.  We've prevented a few diggers at home but he already bumped his head once at daycare.  Actually the report from that day was that at one point he was so active they had to put him in his crib so they could change some diapers without worrying what he was trying to pull up on.  No matter to him, he just pulled up in the crib for a better look around.  Crawling is just going to be a passing fad with him.

You'll also see him try to hold on with just one hand while the other one is reaching to whatever object he wants dibs on.  I'm thinking cruising isn't that far off.  And you'd think all this activity would make a boy a. hungry and b. sleepy.  Naaaaa

Everyone around here is anxiously waiting to see what tomorrow's weather will be.  The morning is predicted to be nasty with snow changing to sleet and freezing rain.  Fun stuff.  Santa is supposed to come to school/daycare tomorrow afternoon and I'm hoping things aren't so icy that we need to stay home.  At least it won't ruin the big Christmas party on Friday where the kids are going to be allowed to wear their pajamas for the day.  Katherine's been asking to where her pjs to school for months now so you know how excited she is about this!  Now if they'd only let us wear pjs to work...
