Where is the apple??

Blake loves to eat whole apples so I gave him one this morning since I didn't have his oatmeal ready for him and he was really hungry. He's started to realize that he doesn't like the peel, so he'll take a bite and take the peel out of his mouth and throw it on the floor, leaving a trail of tiny apple peels all over. Yuck. So, I decided to peel the apple and give it back to him whole. After a while, he was reading a book and I couldn't find the apple. Surely he didn't eat the whole thing in that short period of time, plus eat all the seeds!

Finally I found it:

In this toy...

Right where all the other "round" objects are supposed to go!


(This is on the left hand side of the toy, where the balls go and then they roll out his mouth...)
 

I must admit, this one really made me smile. Seriously, it doesn't get much cuter than this--I love watching him learn!

Well, we got more snow here in Wisconsin, just after a ton of rain. And I thought we were going to be able to use the slide in our backyard again! Nope, we've got a nice amount of snow again. I tried taking Blake out on the sidewalk before it was shoveled, but he would take two steps and fall. I guess once he's a little bigger he can master snow-walking :) I'll admit, I love watching it snow--it helped make it a more relaxing day for me while watching the kids and not feeling the greatest.

Scott is thinking of going snowmobiling this weekend with a friend in northern Wisconsin. It is perfect timing b/c of the snow, but we had just told the other family of the child I'll be watching that we were available this weekend for dinner at their place. I e-mailed back and explained the situation saying we could still come if that's what they preferred. I hate backing out of things, but I also hate missing fun events! Scott loves to snowmobile and it is nearly impossible to plan b/c it is so contingent on the weather and unfortunately, we can't trust the weathermen to actually know when and how much snow we are to get, so we've got the grab these opportunities with friends when we can!
