Our family of three recently braved the cold and snow and took a quick trip to Chicagoland. One highlight was the children's museum. Little Stephanie, now almost 20 months old!, couldn't get enough. She was especially cute in the water room. Yes, there was water, water everywhere...coming out of faucets, pipes, splashing into pools and big sinks. Raincoats were required. Stephanie's raincoat was too big, but it was apparently the smallest they had. The little peanut kept falling over and we would just roll her back onto her feet. She didn't seem to mind. The water and the way it splashed all over when she stuck her hand in it was just too interesting. Stephanie also got her first ride on the El Train. She held on for dear life and so did I! Actually, she enjoyed watching the scenery and then she took a snooze. I kept wondering if the train would topple over...it took some of those curves up in the sky pretty fast! I'm just too used to the smooth Washington METRO I guess....at least it stays put! Anyway, onto other things!
Stephanie got to play with a big bunch of balloons, following the 50th anniversary party we attended. At one point, the wad of ribbon was tucked into her pants and she just ran around whacking at the balloons. It was pretty funny. She didn't put them down for hours.
Stephanie had her first taste of snow this past week. It wasn't much, but she got to try out her brand new boots. She was having fun tromping around and then got a turn on the sled. She wasn't too excited, though. She just laid there while I took her for a spin. So much for the future skiiing trip!!
Take care,
Steph's Mom

Glad she had so much fun in Chicago! We remember how fast -- and how LOUD -- the el was. But no one else seemed fazed by it, so we didn't say anything.
And she'll be on the slopes of Tahoe soon enough, don't you think?
