Happy Birthday

Winfield recieved a birthday present in the mail today. He spent over an hour inspecting it this afternoon. He isn’t exactly sure what it is though. Because he can’t read he had to use the pictures as clues. He has never seen anything like it before and he can’t quite understand how it would be used with all of the snow that is on the ground. He has no memory of an outside without snow so is must be an inside toy. He fell asleep with a mystery tonight. We told him that he would have to wait until his birthday party to open it.Thanks Grandpa Goose and Grandma Jan!

Very Random Video

We hereby resolve to get back to posting more often!

Big Toys Fight Back

This afternoon Win was eagerly playing with a new big toy–an empty diaper box. I was writing a letter while listening to him happily play. I was mothering with my ears more than my eyes. Then I started to hear his frustrated whining. Trying to discourage it I don’t usually pay much attention to that sound. So I let the frustration continue. It lasted longer than usual. When I looked up to check on him this is what I had found. The box had fought back and eaten Winfield.



Some serious work going on

Winfield is doing some serious work in this video. You may have to turn your sound up to get the full impact.

A few more shots…

…from the recent visit.

Visit from the Grandfolks

Today and last night WIn entertained visitors: his Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Jan. Grandma tried to help Win take his first steps (unsuccessfully) by a combination of Physical Therapy maneuvers and verbal intimidation (telling Win that his younger cousin Luke was going to walk first). We also had a nice brunch at Alpenrose, where Win happily sat in a kid chair and ate some dried cherries that the waitress brought him. Winfield especially enjoyed being repeatedly thrown into the recliner by his grandpa (see second picture).
