I just can't express how much we've enjoyed the beautiful weather this last week! We've been outside every day - cleaning cars, at the park, taking wagon and Cozy Coupe rides in the driveway, and playing with sidewalk chalk.
One of Nathan's newest "words" is bubbles, which is pronounced more like "BUHHHHH" and is accompanied by desperate finger pointing and convulsions. The kid is serious about his bubbles. It's gotten to the point where I have to spell the word (never thought we'd start that so early) to avoid the meltdown that is sure to occur if we don't immediately stop and go play bubbles.
We've also been to the park twice in the last week. Nathan loves climbing up the stairs and playing peekaboo in the tunnel. He likes the slide, but is much more enthusiastic about it if he's in your lap. We met Sandy there after work on Valentine's Day to play. Nate was so excited he was running from one activity to the next when he tripped and faceplanted into the dirt, literally. He left a nose impression. I was still wiping dirt and mulch from his nose and mouth several hours later. My little tough guy didn't even cry, just stood up and tried to get the dirt from his mouth by licking his dirt covered hand.
I know it'll get cold again, but we're going to enjoy every moment of sunshine until then.
