OUTSIDE!!

Boy oh boy, does he love playing "outside." He's enjoying the 70 and 80 degree weather, running all over the yard, our neighbor's yard, and everywhere he can try to get away from us. He has discovered the world of sidewalk chalk (not to be licked as a lollipop - just in case you were wondering, yes, he tried).

His tree Pap planted for him almost two years ago is in full bloom. He loves trees. He loves picking up sticks. And rocks. He loves saying all the words. And he has to hold something in each hand at all times. He makes a drum out of everything and he sings and dances all the time.

Oh be careful little ears...yes, he repeats EVERYTHING. And I mean everything. I may have, in fact, taught him his first slang word. Yes, yes I did. You see what had happened was...Olive Garden messed up my order...and I was so disappointed because I had my mouth all set on one thing and got something else...and well, I happened to say "Well, that sucks..." and guess who repeated it?! And repeated it...and repeated it... Oh boy. We quickly changed the word to "sock" and mommy learned a very important lesson that I'm embarrassed to admit, but we must watch EVERYTHING we say! Sheesh...
