We want a snow day!

Tonight, the kids wanted to sleep with their pajamas inside out (good luck for snow, apparently). The weathermen are predicting a few inches tomorrow. Unfortunately for Avery and Donovan, it looks like the bulk of it will be tomorrow afternoon, so the best they can hope for is an early release, I think. The picture is of Donovan only because Avery didn't want him touching her so I sent her up to her room and she didn't get to be in the picture.

In other news, Donovan is a little sponge these days. He is really drawn to numbers and loves figuring out simple addition and subtraction. Tonight, we had a conversation that went something like this:

Donovan: Sissy, do you know how much one million plus one million is?
Avery: No, no one knows the answer to that.
Dono: Mommy, do you know how much it is?
Me: Yes, it's two million.
Avery: It is not!! No one knows how many over a million is.
...it continued on with Donovan then asking 10 million plus 10 million, etc. Avery held her ground that it was too big a number for anyone to know. It struck me as funny. I remember thinking that a million was such a huge number too.

Donovan is also trying really hard to read right now. He loves sounding out words and figuring out what letter different words start with. The problem is, he still can't really say his L's or his R's. They all sound like W's. So one day recently, we were talking about our friends and what their names start with. It went something like this:
Me: What letter does Tre start with?
Dono: t...t....t... TEE!
Me: What does Rayna start with?
Dono: wa....wa....wa.... Double U!!!!
