Festival Asleep

Our first real day in ottawa was pretty nice. The weather is warm (hovering around 0) and we were a little tired still so we decided to take it easy. The big thing on the horizon was the winter festival down at the community park. Snow games, cup cakes, hot dogs, sleigh rides, hockey games, and more.

The best part was the sledding down the hill though. Amy and Elliot had a great time with that. Amy didn’t like going with anyone,and preferred sledding by herslef (all three times she went down the hill).

Elliot spent several hours outside, some in the backyard and some down at the festival. He definitely likes playing in the snow and colder temperatures. By the end of it though he was tired out. Elliot and his cousin get along famously too. They have similar likes for things to play with, and always seem to pick up where they left off when they meet up again.

The funniest part of the day is when I was putting Amy to bed. She got into her PJ’s, got cozy in her sleeping area, and I started reading. After two books I told her it was the last one and she agreed. When I finished the last one I told her I was going to sing to her, then it would be bedtime. She was silent. I looked over at her and she was asleep. I can’t remember her ever falling asleep while I read.
