This weekend he and Ken spent hours playing outside, despite temperatures below 20 degrees. They headed north on Sunday to the Fridge, a toboggan run. What's unique about this one is that it is refrigerated. Why, you ask, would it need to be refrigerated in Michigan, when it only reached 32 degrees today for the first time since Jan. 24? Good question. For the non-winter lovers like myself, it means you can enjoy a winter activity on a mild day (which it wasn't on Sunday).
We weren't sure whether Brendan would enjoy the slide, but he loved it. Ken said he covered his eyes during most of the first run, then screamed for more. Ryan and I stayed home; toboggan runs aren't for 7-month preggos and we weren't sure how Ryan would do waiting in line. He'll definitely take the challenge next winter.
And here's the little 18-month-old, who's going on 3 some days. He's growing up much faster and is on the move more than Brendan ever was at this age. An example: Brendan sat contently in his highchair until he was nearly 2 1/2 years old. Probably, the only reason I stopped using it was because I was pregnant and didn't need to be lifting him. Ryan? We're lucky if we can get five minutes in the highchair.
Ryan also decided that he's outgrown the toddler area of the indoor playground, Kids Play Cafe, that we visit. He led Ken through every tunnel and stair today, to places that Brendan didn't dare venture into until he was older. That's what happens when you're always chasing after your big brother.
