My Life Shared

The last couple of days have been unusually cold- in fact we actually had snow flurries yesterday. This is very traumatic to Silas, who has embraced Spring with such vigor that we’re usually outside walking (or waddling- as I do) around the block by 8am. Being confined once more to inside play space is too recent a winter-made prison to be visiting again. So, today I was determined to create some indoor fun- and we actually had a blast. I don’t know why I hadn’t had this idea sooner. So… welcome to Pillow Mountain. All the couch cushions and every pillow we own was thrown into the middle of the family room floor- and quite an impressive pile towered above Silas’ head. For the next hour- he climbed and jumped and I tickled him and enjoyed his squeals as he delighted in this new game. Then, we busted out some “tunnels.” Silas is totally in to crawling under/through anything he can right now… so we used the furniture and the pillows, and lots of blankets to create tunnels all around pillow mountain. It was great…
