Despite my saying that outside toys must always stay outside, I broke my rule the other day due to the fact that the kids were going absolutely nuts being trapped in the house and it was way too cold to play outside.  They had to go slow and be careful (which mainly applied to Matthew because Meredith only has one speed on her princess ride-on: slow) and when I said it was time to put the toys outside they needed to do so immediately, which they did.  They thought it was jovial to break a rule and ride their outside toys inside.  What can I say, I was in a good mood that day

During the time that Matthew is at school, Meredith and I enjoy some one-on-one playtime.  She is already taking after Matthew in the sense that she likes to take things in and out of bags and Legos are one of her favorite toys. 

Very much like her brother, Meredith has some organizing genes in her.  She will take a pile of toy cars and one-by-one open the car's doors and then line the cars up in a tidy arrangement.
