Winter Woes
Okay, M. and I are a little bit terrified of winter. Last year we had a mostly immobile baby who was pretty content to just hang around the house. Not now.
We've found that the best way to make Finn's day go smoothly is to run him like a dog. We take him to the park in the morning. We take him to the park in the evening. We find large grassy fields and let the boy run and run and run. Otherwise he becomes Mr. Squirrel at bed time.
We're losing the park and the wading pools and the sunshine soon. It will be replaced by drippy damp short dark days of endless gray rain. Ugh.
It's time for a plan. Lots and lots and lots of activity. Toddler gym. Toddler yoga. Toddler music class. Toddler ANYTHINGTHATGETSUSOUTOFTHEHOUSEness. Our lazy days of going to the always convenient park are quickly coming to an end.

Or just really good rain gear/fleece gear - and get thyselves outside... depite the weather!
My Dad always told us that there's no such thing as bad weather - only bad gear. Ha!
Good luck... I'm sure that with a mix of playplaces/malls with long halls/toddler gyms AND time outside in the make-your-nose-red-cold... you'll all come out beautifully!
REI has great toddler rain suits. And they're like 70% off until Labor Day, at least at my local REI.
Wearing one of those, our son stays nice and dry, even in the rain forest.
