Brrrrr!

If I've said it once, I'll say it again - you gotta love Colorado.  Right now, as Myla is doing everything in her little power to stay awake, 7-14 inches of snow are falling outside.  Or 5-10, depending on who you listen to.  I'm not holding my breath that we'll get that much, but its kind of crazy when you think about it.  Three days into spring and we've already gotten more snow than probably all winter. 

So, Myla.  Being two.  Fighting sleep with everything she can find - reading, talking, singing, crying.  She's become quite the pro.  Johnny got some blinds to put on her windows, thinking that the sun staying up later was affecting her somehow.  But tonight its pretty dark and she's doing it again.  I know her parents are cool, but she's never wanted to stay up with them before.  Wake up, sure, but not stay up.  This is new territory.

Myla has developed a strong attachment to her rubber ducks the past few days.  Takes at least four of them with her where ever she goes.  Of course, her hands are really only big enough to carry two, so we end up with three or so in our pockets.  Luckily they are small - baby ducks, as she calls them.  They have been sleeping in the sink of her play kitchen she got for Christmas.  But, as all babies do, these ducks sometimes get into trouble and are put in time out.  She says, "you stay there, one minute."  Oops.  Well, I guess we know she's listening to us...
