Earlier today JV was helping me put the ingredients into the crockpot for dinner. The last ingredient was onions. As I was cutting them my eyes began to water, and I had to walk away for a moment. JV said, "You ok mom?" "I'm ok, the onions are just making my eyes water." I replied. "Be careful mom!" he said.
An hour later, I walked into his room to check on him. He looked at me and said, "Your eyes still wet?" I couldn't help but laugh.

Thoughts From A Child
A Big Boy Bed
Tonight JV wanted to see the isle with the children's bedding. This isn't the usual path we take to get the milk, but since he was being so well behaved and we weren't in a hurry I said yes. He was quite curious and asked what that stuff was. I told him that it was comforters for big kid ". He said, "Oh." A moment later he pulled a dinosaur comforter off the lower shelf and told me he wanted that one. I explained that he didn't need that yet because he had a boat blanket and that those were for big beds and he didn't have a big bed yet. He seemed to understand this and then we left the isle to get the milk. As we turned the corner he looked up to me and said, "I'm a big boy. You're a big girl. You have a big bed." I just told him yes, I have a big bed and then we gathered the rest of our stuff.
As we were waiting in line the mom in front of me who had a toddler, told me how she can't go into Target without getting more than she planned for. Can any of us? I told her I know exactly what she means. I came in for toddler scissors and I'm walking out with ingredients to make playdoh...LOL. She went on to tell me about how she was turning her son's room into a big boy room and she spent way too much. JV said nothing while this mom and I had our conversation and I didn't think anymore about it until we got home.
During bedtime stories JV paused to tell me, "I need a big bed. I'm a big boy. I have a crib." I said, "Yes. I like your crib." He responded, "I have boats in my crib and Wolfpack!" referring to his blankets...LOL.
That's Now My Cow!
As I was reading a page in It's Time for Bed by Mem Fox that reads "It's time for bed little calf, little calf. What happened today that made you laugh?" JV said, "That's not my cow. My cow is at the restaurant eating a cheese burger!" You can only imagine the laugh we had after that.

A Day of Building Snowmen
This past weekend it began to snow, and snow, and snow. Luckily it wasn't that cold according to Minnesota standards, so we put our snow gear on and headed outside to play while Daddy shoveled the driveway.
JV and I decided to make a snowman.
The snow was perfect for snowman building so it didn't take long to complete our snowman, although we did have to get Daddy to help put the belly and head on because he was too heavy for us to lift.
Cheese!
Hugs!
Daddy helped dressed our snowman. JV has been calling carrots noses ever since we gave our snowman a carrot nose.
Daddy and JV
Snow Angel!
I love this picture. Daddy captured it while JV was trying to climb "the mountain", also know as the snow hill in our yard.
JV had patiently waited to go to the park, so after we finished making the snowman in our yard we headed over. If you've never been to the park when it's snowing, I highly recommend you try it. The slides are 10 times as fast when it's snowing, so it's fun for adults too, but make sure to be at the end of the slide to catch your little ones or they will literally fly off the end of the slide!
We also had a snowball fight. JV walked up to Daddy and said, "My turn!". I thought he wanted to throw a snowball at Daddy but apparently he wanted Daddy to throw one at him...haha!
Before we left the park we made another snowman. This snowman was even bigger than the one at our house. We struggled and struggled to get the belly on, but finally managed to get it. When it came to getting the head on, we had to take snow off the ball before picking it up. Then we piled snow back on top.
Daddy and Jackson showing off their hard work!
