First sledding

This week, we got Aidan a new "big boy" (twin) bed! After jumping on it for a while, he warmed up to it quickly, and has been sleeping on it great! It is amazing to see him off the crib mattress and on a "real" bed.


Mommy and Daddy also managed to succesfully make it though some gigantic work projects, which will make our Christmas vacation next week much more peaceful and joyeous!



On Saturday, Aidan's friend Cira (and her Mommy Mary) came over to our house for a playdate, and Aidan had fun sharing his new toys. Although there were a couple of arguments, the kids for the most part played very nicely together, which was wonderful! Since we don't see Cira and Mary at playschool and so don't see each other as much anymore, it was really nice to catch up.


On Saturday afternoon, it started snowing, and by Sunday morning, we woke up to a winter wonderland. It had snowed about 8 inches! Daddy had checked the forecast, and had bought sleds on Friday night, so we were all prepared. We walked up to a little hill in Fort Tryon park with our sled, and Aidan had his first sled ride! He was a very good sport about going down the first time, but after that he got cold and kept saying, "I want to go home!" We stayed for a little while with our friends Johnny (& Mark & Christa & Oliver) and Jakob (& Dorota & Andy), but then we gave in and went home. It was too cold to make a snowman (the snow wasn't sticking), so we'll have to do that some other time. After we got home, we went up to Jakob's apartment (on the 6th floor), and warmed up with some hot cocoa and some trains. This afternoon, we are going to try to make a snowman in Bennett park, and then go over to a holiday party at our friend Rowan's (& Kimberly and Jarrod) house. This has been a fun holiday weekend!
