Where did he learn this?

Tonight Trey and I were playing with his learning table, and he said to me "switch sides." When I didn't move fast enough, he said "do it now mommy." He is really talking up a storm!!!

giggles

This morning Trey slept until after 8!!! He was giggling, so Joe went in and he had his socks on his hands and was saying "mittens!"

The whirldwind Christmas tour

Another week of work, then we are on vacation! Weee hooo!!! Friday the 21st we have Joe's holiday party. On Saturday I drive Quill down to the south shore to drop him of with my friend Nora who has graciously agreed to take him for the holidays (I did warn her about his gassy nature). Then on Sunday we leave for grampy's house in WV. We are there until the 27th, then we fly to South Padre Island, TX to celebrate Mimi's 90th birthday! On the 31st, we fly to Austin, then I fly back to Boston on the 1st and Joe and Trey come back on the 2nd. A lot of flying! For the long flights Trey has his own seat. I just couldn't bear a long flight with him on our laps.

The smartest child in the world

I know most moms say they have the smartest child in the world, but when I say it, it's true.

Yesterday when Trey and I pulled up to school, I was rummaging around in my purse for my badge. I said out loud "I wonder if I even have my..." and before I could finish my sentence Trey yelled out "BADGE!" Isn't that absolutely amazing! I know he knows the word, but its not as if we talk about it every morning. Just so smart.

First snow of the season!

We've had a dusting a few times already, but this is the 1st big dump of snow. I think we have 10-12 inches out there! I'm up early, hoping to sneak out to work since Joe is home with Trey, but I can't really tell if the driveway plow guy came. That would not be good. The driveway is long....

The forgotton one

Poor Quinn. Trey has picked up "Go away Quinn" and says it all the time. So heartbreaking. I think he must have gotten it from me - when Trey is eating dinner and Quinn comes sniffing around I tell him to go away.

We had the 1st snowstorm of the season last night. The news played it up, but when all was said and done we had about 1 inch on the ground. Joe got to stay home from work today, so we got to sleep in! And since we didn't make any noise in the morning, Trey slept in too! Quinn had to go out though, so Joe got up to let him out the front door to potty (we can't let him out the back b/c the door wakes up the baby). Joe futzed around the kitchen for a few minutes then got back in bed. About 45 minutes later we were woken up by Quinn's barking. He was standing on the front porch barking to come in. We had forgotten him!!! The poor dog probably laid down on the front porch on the snow and then got cold. His life has really gone downhill.
