I wish I had something exciting to update on... but I don't.
Things have been pretty quiet, we're just enjoying our time together.
I finished up my last interim class (I had 2) last week, I've got this week off, and classes start back up on Monday the 31st. I've also been in and out of work when my schedule allows.
Our weekends haven't been any more exciting. We've been going to Matt's hockey games now that they are home again. Brode was a bit hesitant about them at the beginning of the season, but after the entire month of December off (all away games) we started going again and he has loved them. Last week he has his coat, hat, and mittens on 20 minutes before we needed to leave and he was demanding us to get off the couch and get ready to go. Personally I think he likes going because, Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandma Beth all go so he gets a lot of attention and they also get him skittles, popcorn, and chuck-a-bones.
Saturday night at the game Brode got a poster with all the players pictures on it. We hung it up in his bedroom and he has about 3/4 of it memorized. If you ever need to know an Ice Dog's name, ask Brode.
A few weekends ago we tried out a few of our new Christmas presents. First we got out the ice cream/sorbet/yogurt maker. My friend Leah was here from Madison so her, Brode and I whipped up some creamy vanilla ice cream. Second, we got out the Belgian waffle maker. Brode love his waffle topped with syrup, whip cream, and blueberries.
Sunday we got outside and cleaned up a little bit of snow we had on the driveway. Brode likes his sled, but doesn't get overly excited about it. When I brought him in the snow it didn't go down the hill very well, and when I ran on the driveway he yelled at me to walk. After I walked him around a bit I figured it was his turn to walk so we buckled Pooh Bear in and Brode gave him a ride. He was extremely proud of himself!
We had one big accomplishment this week - Brode wore his slippers!If you know us well you know that Brode will NOT change his shoes. By will NOT, I mean that the days that he has to get a new pair because there is a hole in the bottom and velcro doesn't stick I sent him to day care in the new identical pair where he cries for an hour until breakfast distracts him. He has been doing better lately. We did get him a new pair that he was actually excited about and he has never complained about his snow boots. He hasn't stepped outside of those boundaries much into the water shoe-sandal-slipper category. I don't know what came over him this week but he put he asked for help putting slippers on and then wore them two nights in a row. (He hasn't worn them since, but we'll get there)
These alligator slippers were from St. Nick two Christmases ago. That's how long we've been waiting, trying, and hoping he'll wear them!
