Usually having a snow day means snow, but not here in Tulsa. Our snow days this time are for 'extreme' cold. Two days...no school. The kids just went back to school this week and now are out for TWO days! AND of course they were thrilled! We all remember sitting at home, watching tv in the morning waiting to see if we had no school. Jenks was always the last one standing. They never cancelled school the night before. But no longer. I think for parent's sake everyone cancels the night before now or even in the afternoon. This week I think we all knew by 2:30! Snow days are fun for kids. They are mental break and just plain exciting. Miles has watched all of the 3 Stooges that he can take and played with legos...all healthy good things. Last night he wasn't so tired at bedtime...just not a ton of running around outside. It's too darn cold so we read a lot before bed and laying there I looked at him and I thought that we aren't going to be doing this forever so I should enjoy it while I can. He's not going to want me in here laying on his bed reading to him. There is going to plenty of time for school, learning, structure, etc. He'll grow out of legos soon. He'll grow out of a lot of things and then we'll be wondering where out little guy went and wishing we had more time with him.
P.S. I have included a cover from Miles' favorite series, Hank Zipzer by noneother than 'the Fonz' or Henry Winkler. This is a great series if you have a child that has any kind of learning issue, be it dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, reading issues, you name it. Hank is one of those kids and he makes it ok for our child. This a great series and I highly recommend it!
