Winter Fun or Cabin Fever?

Sam is getting a little restless being stuck inside every day when it is so cold out. He loves being able to get outside and help shovel snow or just run around in it. When he's not able to go outside, he finds ways to get into plenty of mischief, and has become a very big "helper". This weekend he helped make toast for breakfast, and he always has to set the table. When he's not helping with the dishes, he likes to help Dad fix stuff. He'll pull out his tools and try to do it just like dad. I can't believe how grown up he's becoming. He can dress himself and the sentences are becoming more complex every day. He went from being a baby, to a little boy overnight it seems and he is remembering everything and repeating everything too! Bath time remains a highlight of the day (yes the water in the picture is supposed to be yellow - we were using color tabs in the bath), and we're hoping that there will be a chance for him to get back into swimming lessons this spring. Sam got to go bowling for the first time with Rylie and Jesse, and he loved it! He squealed and clapped everytime the ball rolled down the lane, and had a great time. It's so fun to see how excited he gets about everything!
