Ben loves to take 'his' stick and poke the snow and ice in the driveway. And there's lots of snow for him to play with, that's for sure. We got at least another foot yesterday and it snowed all day so we just got out late in the afternoon for a sled ride down the driveway. 
His buggy doesn't go very easily in the snow, but he loves to sit in it at open & close the doors. Jay and I push him around to do some four-wheeling in the driveway...
Ben loves the big toys. If he sees the 4-wheeler, he HAS to sit on it. And if the key is in the 'on' position, he knows just which button to push to turn it on! It's scary how much they pick up at such a young age (and so quickly!).Things in the Jewett household are going well. Jay is working 2-3 shifts at CMMC each week and a couple of shifts at the ambulance each month. He is headed up to Sugarloaf for an overnight tonight and will ski with Will and Tan tomorrow, who are up there for vacation.
Ben is a happy little guy for the most part. I think he's showing us some signs of just what the "Terrible Twos" are going to look like, so we're holding our breaths for that. He does not like to be re-directed from things he thinks he really wants, but he's also really good at finding things to entertain himself with. He's able to identify 10-15 body parts, can follow pretty simple two-step directions, and LOVES animals. The Dwyers gave him some animal magnets for Christmas and he just loves to rearrange them and take them from door to washing machine to a parent (in hopes of hearing the noise that particular animal makes)... Lots of fun.
I've started working as an OT on my temporary license, and hope to pass the exam the very first time (at the end of the month). I'm really enjoying the job and am there 2-3 days/week.
I think everyone around here is getting cabin fever and ready for Spring (is it really just a few weeks away?). I'm not sure we have any place to put more snow, should it fall...
