Winter arrived this week. On top of 5 days (so far) of on and off rain, the temperature has plummeted to 14°, Celsius of course,  (that’s 57°F.) I say plummeted because of the havoc it has wreaked on my poor son. Every morning as he changes out of his pajamas he is either going on about how, “IT’S FREEZING!” or “I’M SO COLD MOMMY!”  I don’t say anything like, “When I was a kid, it was so could you could freeze, literally.” or “Kid, when I was your age I walked to school in the snow!” No these things would make no sense to him. He doesn’t even have any memories of snow. The last winter we were home he was 2!

So until we get home for American summer, my son is having to brave the elements. In Sydney of course that means living in a drafty home.

Maybe it’s his buzz cut, but that boy could not survive without his hoody on. Even at school pick-up, I walk in to find him sitting inside with his mates building things with his hoody on! It’s just not right!

Another sign of winter is Lana wearing her Winter Uniform. I absolutely love it! I tried to get a nice shot, but all I managed was a picture where she is ‘pretending’ to walk. And she would not stop ‘pretending.’ This picture reminds me of Maria’s ‘action’ shots.
