More Crazy

So in addition to our strange weather, a couple other crazy things have happened this week. First, I enrolled Eli in a 2 year old preschool program for next school year! There's a lot of crazy in this: first that he's going to be 2 this year, and second that it's actually time to think about preschool! I know a lot of kids start preschool at age 3, and that's when our church preschool starts. But since I stay home with Eli, I thought it would be a good idea for him to have a social and structured environment also. He loves going to the nursery at the gym now, so I hope he'll love this, too. He'll just go 2 days a week, and I'll have 4 free hours each day, which I think is important, also.
Okay, and here's the second bit of crazy this week: I saw Eli throw his foot on top of the front rail of his crib, over the side, and then he straddled the rail while holding on to the end of his crib!! What?! The other day he woke up from his nap in a great mood, and was very happily playing in there. I asked him if he wanted out, and he shook his head no. So Thom called, I got the phone, sat in the rocker in Eli's room, and was talking to him, when lo and behold Eli started his acrobatic tricks. I just about fell over. I did jump up and stand next to him (even in my shock, I wasn't ready to let him fall), and kind of wanted to see how far he could get. I couldn't believe he could do that, and definitely didn't want him to go all the way over. So the bed has one more notch we can lower it, and we'll see what happens after that. I'm hoping this was a one time (for now) freak thing that he did while he was playing, and that it won't happen again for a while. Because I am definitely not ready for him to be climbing out of his crib yet!!

Weird

Yesterday we had temperatures in the low to mid 50s, this morning there is snow on the ground with a high of 29. What is up with that?
