James and Claire now have matching beds to sleep in when visiting. James wasn't quite ready for the freedom of being able to climb out of bed, so he slept in his pack-n-play. Maybe next time!
When it came time to leave Tennessee, the weathermen were saying that there was some potential for snow and/or ice in Atlanta. I decided to return home with Claire and Ethan and leave James to stay with MM for a few days. The snow and ice did indeed come, both to Tennessee and Georgia. All of our activities and Claire's school ended up being cancelled and we were stuck at home. We tried to make the most of the time and had fun playing and doing things like practicing with scissors, playing board games, and using markers, which are more difficult when James is around.
Claire's weekend to bring Marvin the monkey home from preschool ended up lasting more than a week with the snow days
We've moved the little guy into the highchair for meals now
Claire loved the freedom of being able to wear whatever she wanted during our snow days. She spent one day in snow pants (I had to insist that she put a shirt on under them!) and spent one day in a fancy church dress.
Hot chocolate
Valentines for her preschool class. "I think you are just write."
Getting better and better about sitting up
Claire was thrilled to be able to feed Ethan his banana one night.
A little dangerous on a good day, there was no way I was going down our steep driveway when it was covered in ice!
Dancing with homemade ribbon streamers
Scissor practice with a stack of old Christmas cards
Meanwhile in Tennessee...
some basketball with Uncle Logan
MM said that James was a happy little guy and very talkative during his extended stay.
