Reading

Lately Winston has become very interested in sea life. I found him this great book on the mangrove ecosystem, El mar, la tormenta y el manglar (The Sea, the Storm and the Mangrove Tangle) by Lynne Cherry. While he doesn't fully understand all of it he does enjoy seeing the drawings and learning about the various animals that live together.

Scorpion

The packaging had a green scorpion painted on it so Winston painted his green. He then wanted to know why this scorpion was green. Thanks to the internet I now know that the scorpions hard body is covered by a glassy layer which makes them fluoresce green when exposed to ultraviolet light.

Wearing Shorts

It's very cold outside but Winston still thinks is summer and wants to wear shorts all the time. A couple weeks ago he succeeded at convincing me to let him wear shorts while going bike riding by the bay. It was a very bad idea. It was windy and cold. We were out for a quick ride and then immediately headed home.

Rainy Day

It's been raining a lot in the Bay Area and we've had to get creative about entertaining ourselves without too much TV. We’ve been doing a lot craft projects, watching the squirrels and birds fight for the seeds we put out on the apple tree and taking walks around the neighborhood.

This weekend we went out for a walk around our neighborhood looking for the squirrels that were nowhere to be found. We did find a very fast stream near the sewer line by our house. Both Penelope and Winston had a lot of fun collecting leaves and dropping them in the stream. Winston was counting to see how many seconds it took for the leave to reach the sewer while Penelope was intrigue that some of her leaves/sticks and acorns would not move. They had way too much fun and were sad to leave.
