What to do with two kids when it's below freezing everyday? If it was just Nathan, we'd probably be outside more and give sledding a try. But with Claire, I don't want to spend as much time in freezing temps. So we're inside just about everyday, and I'm not winning any Mother of the year awards letting Nathan play X-box games. He'd play Star Wars Legos all day every day if we let him.
But today I picked up a watercolor book of Nemo, even though all my attempts to get him to color lately have led to him saying "It's too hard, you do it." But he really got into the paint. Maybe the fact that the water makes it messy was the thrill. But he actually picked the right colors and focused on where to put them instead of just scribbling everywhere. Yay!
