Well, on Tuesday morning we woke up to temperatures in the -forties! This isn't really unusual for Winnipeg but it still sucks! Today we woke up to the same but yesterday I walked Calla to school in the morning because it was a balmy -36! LOL Calla is unaffected by the cold. In fact, she has a hard time understanding why she isn't allowed to play outside. Maya on the other hand, seems to be having a rough time. There has been lots of whining and crying on her part the last couple of weeks.
We had been considering a winter holiday and haven't ruled it out just yet but we aren't sure that this is the best year. Aria is now quite mobile and she isn't going to understand that she has to be still for a 5-6 hour flight. Also, she still isn't really sleeping very well and I don't want to make things worse. If the weather keeps up however, I'm not going to worry about it.
With the cold and Aria not sleeping I am still feeling quite tired. A wise person recently told me that it really is okay for me to feel tired and that I should just give myself some time. I am trying to do just that. I have actually upped my running but am giving myself permission to not get everything done every day. I mean really, as long as we're all fed, clothed and happy I think that we'll survive! : )
On a positive note Aria has started babbling. She is almost 8 months so it's rather late developmentally. I actually thought that she was just going to be one of those kids that didn't babble. I'm so glad that she is because I think that it's the cutest thing. I mean really, if you can't wake up to morning sunshine and the birds singing, a baby babbling is truly awesome!!
Love to you all,
Kristen
