Baby it's cold outside!

About a year ago we started applying for kindergarten for Baby Chang.  I say that like we were trying to get into some fancy private school.  No just trying to pick the best public school option.  In Houston there are magnet schools within the public school system that you can apply to go to even if it is not your neighborhood school.  After much debate and fingernail biting we decided on the school that was in fact our neighborhood school.  Top on my list of reasons was that we could walk to school.  This has quickly become the best part of my day.  Baby Chang and I spend the 15 minute walk talking, singing, making up games.  It is quality time for just the two of us.  Some days it's the only time we have together because of my work schedule.

Today however it was 37 degrees outside when we woke up.  I decided that perhaps it would be a good day to drive, yes I have become a wuss when it comes to the cold.  As we drove to school it hit me that because of how school drop-off works we wouldn't get our usual hug and kiss goodbye.  When I mentioned that to Baby Change she decided that walking to school was way better than driving, even when it's cold.  So even though the trip to school was considerably shorter today I already know it was the best part of my day!
