MLK Break

We thoroughly enjoyed our MLK break today. Nick and I woke up to Drew playing with the video monitor. This is a new thing for him. We will be getting a cord cover and mounting it high on his wall asap. Big brother isn't the only one fascinated with electronics.  :) Sam was up shortly after Drew. We surprised Nick with cinnamon rolls.  Sam was quite proud of his icing skills. After a morning of conquering about 4 loads of laundry, we were off to take Drew to school for a few hours. Sam and I had a date at the ice skating rink. This was Sam's first time and he did great. It has been quite a while since I have been on skates, so I was a little nervous. Sam used a trainer which is much like a walker. It gave him the confidence he needed to make it across the ice. He did fall a few times but was able to catch himself from hitting the ice hard. All in all, we had a great time...great workout too. Sam wants to go back soon. We are contemplating having his birthday party there. We will see. After skating, Sam enjoyed some hot chocolate.  It really was a fun little outing with my sweet buddy. Sam wants to try roller skating next. With that suggestion,  we headed to a sports store and tried on skates. I want to take him roller skating before we buy skates just to make sure he likes to skate first.

Before putting Sam to bed, he read one of his new books. We bought him his first "Step 1" book. It's unbelievable how well he can sound words out and use the pictures to figure out the words. Smart boy!
