I am not sure Chase was actually a big help. He was so excited to be helping Daddy shovel, but in actuality he split this time between throwing snow on already shoveled areas and catching snow flakes. I guess for a 3 year old though, he was doing exactly what was expected of him. Being a kid and loving life.
Of course, the next day was a snow day. Whomp whomp. Kevin desperately and carefully drove himself into work and left me trapped with 2 kids at home trying to also work.
We did have some highlights of the day... like the combination of a sheet fort and the unbelievable dry air making for some crazy hair!
Since Chase was home already, I siezed the opportunity during Whitney's nap to let him paint. This has to be filed as one of the more daring and crazy mom moments I have attempted. Also, it better get me cool mom points since Chase was so dang excited to help!
I have been painting a huge "C" in Chase's room per his request of a few inspiration pictures I showed him. Every day since I have heard "when is my room getting my biiiiiiiig C? Over der on dat wall!"
Today was the day. Actually I spent all weekend jerry rigging a projector to outline the "C". Now it was time to fill it in.
Step 1: Step him down
Step 2: Repeat explicit instructions to go slow and stay in the lines. over and over
Step 3: hold breath
Now he is already bugging me asking "when are we gonna do my stripes like in my old room." Sheesh kid! Give me a break! My hands are still crippled.
Oh, and while I was at it. I painted his closet orange too. Love the pop of color!
