Obsessed yesterday with the mailboxes and trying to put the key in the boxes. He tried everything including throwing the keys at the boxes, which unsurprisingly netted poor results. He did, however, manage to put the key in several locks that they didn’t belong, although nothing opened.

On a similarly bright note, in order to get to the mailboxes we have to cross a street. Due to his infatuation with playing at the boxes, we had to walk across the street several times – resulting in a quick learning of the ‘you have to hold my hand to cross the street’ parental safety measure.

Wow! On to using a new number to tell his age….

Yea, sliding…not sledding. No snow around here recently….at least nothing to report. I was hoping for something good around this time to take Ezra sledding for the first time. Since winter accumulation all seems to have moved east of here, we did take advantage of the cool yet sunny day and spend a little time in the neighborhood playground. Ezra climbed up the steps and slid down the slide all by himself. Over, and over, and over, and over, and over…etc. The slide is taller than I am, and his smile every time he was about to go was barely contained.

Pics from the camera-phone. Hope to have the real deal out there next time we go – it’s just too precious not to get.

A quick walk outside before the snow started resulted in a quick photo (I couldn’t find any of his hats as we went out the door, so he got to wear another FD hat).

***I don’t know why the photo isn’t showing up…some glitch in the system….but if you click on it, you will get the full size version.
