Trill, sorry to hear there won't be a wedding. It must be hard. How is your brother? OMG how awesome about the lady commenting on your kids! That is so cool! And yay for no more speech therapy.

W doesn't really have a sense of humor. He is very literal.

Clare, we have had the fire on a few times now and there were a few days of frost last week. Hopefully it won't be as cold and miserable as last year.

On that note, any ideas for inside play? W won't do anything art/craft/music, playdough takes longer to make than he will play with it (but I still make it anyway). I feel a very long cooped up winter on the way and I am struggling for ideas already.
