Week ending January 21, 2007: The kids should sleep well tonight; we’ve had quite a busy day. We took the kids to their 1st boat show (Casey goes 2-3 times a year), and then it snowed just over an inch, so after climbing on boats all day the kids couldn’t resist running around in the snow. They dug with their snow shovels, rode on the sleds, and jumped and made snow angles on the trampoline. The kids really liked the boat show as long as we didn’t stay in one place for too long. They climbed on each helm and into each berth. They particularly liked the mid-cabin berths which are like tunnels behind the stairways and under the helms. It was miserable cold out, but I’m glad that the kids are too young to be outside by themselves so I forced myself to go out in the snow with them. I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the snow, the ingenuity the kids showed in how they amused themselves in the snow, and the pure joy that the kids live because they are so in the moment that nothing is more important to them than enjoying the rare treat of a yard covered in fluffy whiteness. This week we tried putting Chloe on a dairy-free diet at the doctor’s suggestion to see partial-lactose-intolerance explains her frequent complaints of belly pain. We didn’t manage to be totally dairy-free, but we saw no improvement with a significant dairy reduction, and gave up. I may have to take her to a gastroenterologist because she is complaining probably once or twice per day about heart-burn. In the “amusing things Chloe says” category this week, there is what she said when I was pretending to be a monster and eating Alex up, she said “Excuse me, that’s my prince. Please don’t eat him, we need to go to the ball”. Alex had a cute saying too. He was being adorable and I said “I’m going to have to kiss you” and Alex said “I yike kisses!”. No wonder I was eating him up!
