First Snow

Wren and I were very excited to share his first snow day this afternoon. Here he is at the window showing the thick wet snowflakes falling. He is looking at the camera but moments before was pointing, hooting and shrieking at the snow outside. I shrieked too which made him laugh and shriek louder.

Frost and Joshua are not sharing this moment because they are out at Laurelhurst for Frost's "cognitive ability" testing. Its something required for admission to either of the public school accelerated learning programs. We are interested to see whether Frost would be eligible for either of these programs to help us evaluate our choices for 3rd Grade. Since the snow started while he was in the classroom I expect he will be very excited when he gets out.

He was very peeved to go out because he was playing on his laptop. I am starting to hate the laptop and plot for its demise or a rotation schedule in which it goes on holiday Monday, Wednesday and Friday to allow for a more social inquiring mind. I am not sure Joshua agrees. Wren is the only one in the household who does not own a laptop and he is upset about it, constantly trying to climb on ours, shut them and hammer on the keyboards.
