Zeb loves to sit up on top of his dresser and watch the snow fall. I am so glad that he loves it!  he tromps through it in his snow boots every time we get out of the car (which is actually really annoying because he's really slow and gets really wet) but I love that he loves it.  It has made me think a lot about the attitudes that I inadvertently (or often times intentionally ) teach my kids.  I think most of life is based on attitude and choices we make and I hope to be able to teach my children to be positive and happy- no matter what comes their way.

 I'm sure I've taught my kids to really dislike a lot of stuff- but snow is not one of them :)

And then there's Ike and his strange clothes habits. I am certain that I haven't taught him to be so particular.  Many days he insists on wearing FOUR pairs of superhero undies over his diapers.

 There's also an obsession with character clothes. No offense to lovers of these clothes- but I am not a huge fan of shoes/pants/shirts, etc. covered in winnie the poohs and sesame steet characters.  Ike LOVES them. I have caved and gotten him a few at yard sales- but I didn't think he'd be so obsessed. He giggles and smiles every time he sees the 'Wall-E' shirt (we've never even seen the movie).  Then, of course, he's reminded of his elmo pants and he wants them on together- with his shirt tucked in.  We don't go out of the house like this.
