I am at a disadvantage. Stormy says "da." Yes, "da" not "ma." It is how it goes with babies; they make "da" sounds first. But then I got to thinking, Stormy's daddy is "Dada," his sister is "DeeDee" and his sitter is "Di." I am the odd one out with "Ma." I nurse him, wash his diapers and make his baby food. I wake up with him at 2 am. I knit him adorable hats (though he seems to hate hats) and sweaters. I love him with my whole heart, but the "Ds" have it. But I know, one day soon he will say "mamamama" and then he won't stop saying it.
We in Central Illinois are on another snow day. We got about 5 inches of snow over night. That is in addition to the 6-7" we got over the weekend. This winter is the snowiest and coldest in recent memory, but I love snow. Something about the pure whiteness is so beautiful. And like knitting and so many other things in life, snow is a reminder that tiny little things do add up over time and can make a big difference. I also like that I work at a community college that has snow days.
This makes 4 snow days in 2014. This however might be the first snow day I enjoy this year. I am using the term "enjoy" loosely here because my plans are to clean the house and get organized. I have tons of laundry to do as well. Then, I want to organize my knitting stash and take pictures of all the amazing things I made in January. I was a knitting machine in January and blogged nothing. I either have time to do stuff or write about doing stuff most days so I choose doing stuff.
How do you spend your snow days?
Once I get things organized I am going to work on getting a little someone to go "ma."
