More Snow?!

MN is going to get hit with 6-10" of snow today, just when we thought we were turning the corner to spring!  The week was nice, warm, & sunny, so a lot of our 60+ inches of accumulation has melted.  Hopefully this doesn't make our ice dams worse.  We've been very lucky in that we haven't had any flooding, but this has been a bad winter.  We were looking forward to hopefully playing in the parks or at least outdoors soon!

We've been a sickly bunch this week.  Livy's been the only healthy one!  I had a weird virus earlier in the week--low-grade fever, aches, & nausea.  Mike caught it this weekend.  Baylee started vomiting Friday night.  She was fine all day Saturday, but woke up this morning throwing up again.  Sigh...  I was hoping to get through this winter without the stomach bug.

We got Livy a "big girl" car seat this week, which means she is now forward facing.  The City of Plymouth installed the seat for me & double-checked Baylee's seat for me too.  It was nice not having to do it myself & to have the piece of mind knowing it's in right.  Having her face forward has not been fun though.  She's been even WORSE in the car!  I don't know if it's because she can see me & wants me to hold her, but I've had to crank the car stereo to the maximum volume & she still screams above that.  It's very frustrating.  Nothing we try works--snacks, the dvd player, toys.  She just does not like being in the car.

This week, I learned that Baylee knows her ABC's.  She's a little bit addicted to a PBS show called "Super Why."  It's very educational, so I think she learned her ABC's from there.  I also have an app on my iPod that's related to the show & there's a Letter Hunt game that she loves.  It asks her to spell words & she has yet to miss a letter.  I thought maybe she knew the more common letters since she sees them the most, but she spelled queen & zebra correctly, so I'm pretty sure she knows all her letters.
