Tennessee Snow Day!





We are not acustomed to so little snow creating a snow day! And I am definetly having mixed emotions about there being snow here at all. But we have decided to embrace our snow day and have some fun! I am not teaching tonight and Matt is off early, so we are going to hang out, and have a little FHE time! I took Ben out into the snow this morning, it is his first snow. It was fun. I am not sure if he liked it or not, but then I dont think he was sure either! here are some pics and some video! Happy Snow Day!

Blocks






Ben has a thing about things being stacked. He doesn't like it, or rather he likes knocking stacks over. I made this tower for him and for once he was more fascinated with how tall it was than he was interested in tipping it over. We love Mega Blocks!

Dad Nap

A Dad nap is what happens when Matt is home, Ben is exhausted and refusing to nap because... Matt is home.

I turned on his favorite movie, cars, gave him a blanket and pillow and watched the following scene unfold. He was rubbing his eyes and was sooo sleepy. I asked him if he wanted to go down for a nap. He took his blanky and ran. So, I said, "you can go nu-night, or sit with dadoo and watch the movie." He snatched up his blanky and went over to Matt.








A short 10 minutes later this was the scene........




They are soo sweet! This was especially appreciated as I was laying on the couch hoping to die from a nasty cold! Thank heavens for Dadoo!

Ben's first coloring page!




We have entered the fun new world of coloring! Ben loves it! I found some small crayons in some of matt's art stuff. Aunt Melissa has since given Ben some thick kid crayons. But he will sit in his chair and color for extended periods of time. I just have to keep an eye on him or he tries to sneak them into his mouth. I tried to use his pacy as a plug, but it was a limited fix.

Lightning McSteed

We ordered Ben a rocking horse for Christmas. It did not arrive until New Year's Eve. When I ordered it it said, "some assembly required." This is the box it came in. I was expecting something with a bit more depth to it. I laughed thinking of Matt putting it together when he got home from work! This is how it looked in side the box, considerably more than some assembly required.






But it went pretty quickly. It took Ben a few moments to warm up to it, and having his blanky along really helped!
They soon became best buddies and Ben named him Lightning McSteed after his favorite movie and character. It took a few days for him to really get the rocking thing down. I will post some video of that soon!

WWWW

Welcome to the Wide World of Womack Wrestling. A perfectly peaceful seen like above, invariably breaks down into the maham below in a frighteningly short period of time when ever there are two or more Womack males in one location.

Train Table

This bookcase used to actually hold books, but now it holds mostly toys, toys that can go on the train table. Ben loves having a place to stand and play!

Computer time

Ben got his very first computer game for Christmas. He loves it! Every time a key is pressed something appears on the screen. Now rather than holding him I strap him in to his high chair and let him go to town! He played for nearly 20 minutes on the computer the other day!
