Snowman

TB and Ikey made a snowman in our yard.The fluffy, dry, powdery snow is awesome for skiing, but doesn't stick together well enough to make a snowman taller than the two-year-old. He has a carrot nose and chocolate-covered espresso bean buttons. After snowman construction, we took the kids to a fancy Italian restaurant (we should have nixed that plan when they told us they didn't have high chairs) where Ikey was NUTS. Luckily, we were early so the restaurant was pretty empty and Ikey's very charming while NUTS or we might have been kicked out. After he squished THREE butter packages, he held up his greasy hands and said/yelled, "It's kaka!" TB and I don't say "kaka" so who knows where he got that from. We survived it without too much embarrassment or broken dishes.
That evening, we were reviewing Ikey's day and he said, "We made a snowman. I ate a button." Ah HA! No more espresso beans for the baby.

The size of the snowman is perfect--they can see eye to eye. Have a great day

That is funny! Keep espresso beans away from my kids! I can't keep up with them as is.
