He's "tip-toeing" from the family room to the kitchen where his baby is sleeping on the plastic stool Quinn left her on. Lately, Quinn refers to his baby as his baby sister and asks if Luke and I are going to also have a baby sister. Hilarious.

The other night we had our first "scare" of frostbite. We had a huge snow storm and Quinn, Matt and I were out shoveling. Even though he was bundled in jacket, snowpants, hat and mittens, snow managed to creep into his ankles and wrists and his cheeks were red as well. After we came in, it appeared like those spots were raised and turned slightly white. Naturally, I became gravely concerned, Matt told me to relax and Quinn didn't seem to notice his injuries at all. I jumped on line and researched and once warmed, Quinn was back to normal- thank goodness!

Last night was wearying. Quinn was up around 1:45, hungry, and then struggled to go back to sleep until nearly 4. The poor guy slept in, but I'm not one to sleep in. Once the sun rises, I'm up. Hopefully, as the years go by I'll learn to treasure a lazy Saturday morning.

Quinn and his Dad are off to a downtown skyway golf tournament. They'll take the train, which Quinn loves, and then do some golfing, catch lunch and come home. I, on the other hand, will be here, working on a reflective paper for class. Bleh. I also need to decide on a vision for my blog for my blogging class. What will I write about? The textbook says that using it for a journal is NOT blogging, though I think that since my intent with this one is a record, as opposed to a dialogue, I don't care about the textbook defn.

I'm wrestling with decisions around Quinn's daycare. Right now, he's happy at Jo-Jo's but his best pal, Kairis is leaving at the end of the month and it's still just Quinn and a bunch of little girls. I don't mind him hanging with whoever, but a little gender balance would be terrific. Plus, we're nearing his time for pre-school. I need to determine when to enroll him and where--- and what my summer plans are. I could save a heap of money if I kept him home with me, but that not be what's best for him...

so much to consider!
