Nathan is sporting a new Sabre's hat. It's a little snug but he likes it because it's a blue cap just like his Grandpa Howe's. We finally got a whole inch of snow, so I took them out sledding on the driveway. Nathan cried at first, but he thought it was okay after a few runs. Thomas seemed to enjoy the sledding. You can see they were doing a little shoveling too. The last picture shows the boys in the desk. Nathan is standing on the window sill and Thomas is on the arm of the chair.

Actually, most of their animal sounds are pretty clear. We practice those in the car.

They started their second session of ice skating. They only cried when they left me but then cleared up for the rest of the 45 minutes. Both boys remembered their skills from last year. Thomas is very motivated and will skate by himself. Nathan is still hestitant to pick up his feet, but will just glide by letting his feet slowly go apart. I think their favorite part is still the dum dum lollipop afterwards.

The boys play often with their match box cars. Nathan particularly is good at making the noises to accompany the moving car.

They love the story about the 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed. They wag their fingers saying "no more, no more".
