Cold

Hello from Canada!

It is the first day of winter and we are cold! My little monkey boy thought a sweatshirt would be enough to keep him warm outside even though he had bare feet. He told his sister, "I'm fine with the cold!" but quickly came back in and put on his socks, shoes, coat, and mittens.  After playing for a while he took them all off outside and stood by the door in short sleeves and barefoot again, wanting to come in. We had to teach him to come in first and then take off his warm things. We also had to let him know that we skate on ice, not snow, even though we haven't seen either one yet. We're still hoping!

Have a great day wherever you are, warm or cold!

Raking Leaves

Hello!

We just finished raking our leaves outside. My little monkey boy had fun jumping in them.

It is still warm here so the leaves on the trees are still all green. Only a few turn brown and fall down but they do that all year round. More fall down if it is windy or rainy. When we have lots of leaves in our yard my kids think it seems like fall. They are still wearing shorts though!

Have a fun day!

Fall and Swimming

Hi Kids,

It is fall where we come from in Canada. I miss seeing the leaves change colours. I do not really like the cold weather though. Here in the Dominican Republic it is still very warm. My kids are going to go swimming outside this afternoon.

Do you like to swim?  Would you like to live in a place where it is warm all of the time?  Why or why not?

Have a great day!
