Rites of Spring

We think spring has finally found its way here - and boy has James been excited to get outside and play in the dirt and move around in his Cozy Coupe car!

James has been Daddy's little assistant digging up dandelions in the yard.  So much so we might have to get him his own tool for next year.  Although he doesn't appear too happy that Dad popped the dandelion out from the yard above - he typically is thrilled!

James can play with his car and be content outside for hours it seems - getting in, getting out, pushing it a bit, pretending to fill it with gas ... and then repeating the entire cycle again.  He's a happy little guy when he can go "out-tide" and bask in the sunshine!

Living in a neighborhood filled with families we've learned to enjoy all it has to offer.  Walking paths to the river, the nearby movie theatre and James' new favorite - the ice cream truck!  Which just so happens to make all too frequent visits on our street due to the number of kids that live near by.  James picked out a selection the other night and got his first taste of a fruit bar - he kept saying it was hot but he finally learned to hold it by the stick in order to eat it without freezing his hands!  Yummy!

Happy Spring!!
