living and loving through coronavirus

Elsa movie obsession! That's frozen and frozen ii. And then I bought her alego duplu frozen cake with Olaf Ella and and she is just so obsessed. Elsieism with the music too, listen to both Olaf songs on repeat. Knows the movie by heart and wants to watch just until the next part....

Baby pouches that dad makes

Playing lots of monster and hot lava monster inside and out. She loves to run and play tag like games.

Reading books every morning is a new fun thing, and we do a reading books of the month to get new books.

Huge Daddy's girl at bedtime, wants him to take her up every night, how the tables have turned.

No playgrounds is rough, no anything is rough, Elsie understands people are sick and we don't want to be around such people or get other people sick. And she knows the word coronavirus. Which is adorablly sad. 

Really try to cut back on any outings, grocery store once a week if that and that's it. And Spencer is the only one he'll allow out ha, didn't want either of us to risk it at all ♥️

Kind of a reversions back to acting like a baby, likes baby pouches, wants to put pull up on like diaper, wants to be rocked before going to bed, wants her wubbas again (no). I think she's growing cuz she's going through a sleep regression again, getting smarter every day!

Poop cupcakes, a game dad is especially good at making faces for.

Try to run around the back yard everyday, when temp good we walk to the beach at olbrich which has been perfect! All state parks have been closed to keep people at home. 

I'm glad the social distancing is working but after a month of this and the horrendous economic toll it has taken I am eager to get people back to work, in small waves. We have contained the main spread, now we know it's here and people need to be responsible for their own choices. People in Michigan were protesting the stay at home order, "give us our freedoms back" and I have to say I agree. We are at the peak supposedly this week in wi and we have less than 200 deaths total. Again great that we saved lives but we need to get people working again now. 

No word on when scientific research will resume, but it has come to a reluctant halt at UW Madison. Possibly June at the earliest? I'm still getting paid through my grant but I'm apply for an extension also when we have a better idea of what time we lost.
