a few stories, and snow in the house...

I wanted to write out a few events that happened yesterday and today. They are too cute to forget, and too cute to not share with others.

Heidi loves to play with a container of old-fashioned clothes pins. She decided to turn them into a new game. She picked up a couple, pulled to stand at the bathtub, and threw them into the tub. She knelt down, picked up a few more pins, pulled to stand, and threw them in. Heidi repeated this over and over, until they were all in the bathtub. She giggled and was so excited and proud of herself the entire time. (and great self-directed therapy activity to help strengthen her leg muscles, and to practice getting down from standing)

Heidi crawled through her tunnel, and both dogs watched. A few minutes later, Sophie went through the tunnel to get at a toy. And then later, Skipper walked through the tunnel on his own accord. I never dreamed he would do something like that! (and the tunnel is a great crawling activity for Heidi. Now if only she would get up on all fours to crawl - she prefers her fast army crawl)

Heidi received a present in the mail. Some animals to go with a Noah's ark toy. She noticed the box on the counter, and was very excited to see the animals inside. I took them out one at a time, and handed them to her. Her anticipation was contagious. She was so happy to hold each animal, and then looked forward to the next one.

Today, Heidi and I came downstairs in the morning. Our customary first task is to open the curtains in the family room, so the sunlight can come in. When we pulled the curtains back this morning, I noticed there was snow. Not just snow outside, which I expected, but snow inside as well! There was snow next to our sliding glass door. All the wind last night blew snow into the house!!!! And this wasn't the first location where we have had unwanted snow. It has also come under the front door, but that has since been fixed. Now we have another thing to add to the ever growing "to do list."
