sunny days

I can honestly say I'm a better person when there is sun. This photo was taken yesterday in our backyard. Thatcher was happily contained in his wagon while I mowed the lawn...(which I did willingly due to the unseasonable warm weather that I basked in).

There isn't much better, in my opinion, than when the sun comes out in early Spring. You don't expect the warm weather and it just shows up right when you feel completely defeated by the rain. I know it's going to start up again tomorrow and for the next 7 days at least, so I took extreme advantage of our two sunny days and stayed outside almost entirely.

We had our first toddler tumbling class today and little T had so much fun in the obstacle course. He thought the mini trampoline was pretty exciting along with the slide. After his "nap and lunch"...I use the terms loosely as this week he's apparently sleeping for only one hour and plucking at his food like it might be contaminated. I refuse to believe that gone are the days of 2-3 hour daily power naps and an appetite to rival any 14 year-old boy. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Poor kid has such terrible allergies. When the sun comes out his eyes tear up like he's caught in a wind storm...on a beach.

This afternoon we took it down to the Pearl with Thatch in the Ergo and walked around and hung out at Jameson Square with all the other little guys running around in the sun. The fountain was going so we sat in the grass and read our books and watched the action. The day wouldn't be complete without a visit to "lelly" (Kelly) at the gym so I forced myself to endure the stairclimber while he played his heart out.

Tomorrow we're going to an open house for a Spanish Immersion preschool. We're thinking of getting him started once or twice a week. Might be a little bold at this point so I need to check it out first.
