Nine to nine

Max set two personal records today- he slept until 9am and stayed up until 9pm; the 3.5 hour nap sandwiched in between was also a nice treat.  Winter break is shaping up to be as exhausting as it is fun!

Max was dying to go ice skating.  He pleaded, "Ice skate- my turn", every time we walked by the rink.  Since they actually had skates in his size, we decided to give it a try.  As we attempted to jam his three-sock layered feet into the skates he eagerly repeated, "get them on" and "tie them".  He was excited when Aunt Arielle and I walked hand and hand with him towards the rink.  But once we hit the ice, the General had a sudden and severe change of heart.  A minute later we were back inside taking off the cutest little ice skates you ever did see.

If you're happy and you know it snap your fingers
