Sunday snowfunday

We drove up to visit the snow at snoqualmie pass. Of course Zachary dived in, literally to tummy toboggan down the slope. He also made snow angels, a snow man, and had several snow fights. Miriam had never seen snow and was unsure about the cold wet stuff. This was exacerbated by her need to run around in a tutu with no leggings!

Bathroom

Nine year old to almost three year old.
"Close the door"
Pause
"No, get out and close the door"

Miriam comes out carrying potty full of pee. And say"Zachary needs his space, but I need to poop."

New step stool - New world.

We just made an IKEA run. The highlight of the trip apparently was a new GIANT STEPSTOOL. Our downstairs sink is in a giant 1980s built in, and it is just hard for Mimi to reach the sink. She just tried it, came BURSTING out of the bathroom with joy, explained about how great it was because now she can USE THE POTTY and WASH HER HANDS ALL BY HERSELF.

Then she leapt through the doorway and shouted:

"I FEEL A CELEBRATION COMING UP!!!!"

and ran a few laps around the loop.

Oh, there she goes again.....
