With the first signs of spring upon us, Deken and I kind of abandoned our daily routines, to spend some quality time exploring outside! Poor thing had gone from 80 degrees and sunny weather everyday, to 3ft of snow for 4 months... I've never seen a kid more excited to be outside!
So everyday last week, we took stroller walks, trips the park, a walk to McDonalds for Shamrock Shakes on St. Patty's Day (a must tradition) and riding bikes around the neighborhood. However, everyday he was a little curious about all that grass on the other side of the big glass window in the kitchen.. I was hesitant to take him in the backyard, which would be ok because it's fenced, but we have a large slope and it's been nothing but puddles and mud from all the snow melting....
But I'm a sucker for Deken's curiosity. I always try to let Deken pursue his curious interests (with mom helping to caution) so finally, by Thursday it was dry enough to let Deken venture to the backyard to discover what was out there. And in light of Deken's "I'm-two-and-can-do-it-myself New-Found-Independence" I let him chose a few toys and explore the yard all by himself.. Well kind of.. Mom couldn't help be peek out the kitchen window every once and a while.. Was happy to find:
First I got all my toys ready and lined up. Making sure Buzz and Woody have a front row seat.
Then I checked out some bubbles
Hmm, then I saw some other kids playing across the street and tried to show them my toys
And finally I took a tour of the rest of the yard on my cool motorcycle
So glad my little man loves being outside, because our family def spends alot of time out there! I'm also really glad that he's on the right road to being adventurous! No TV Drone kids in this family! :)
YEAH that S-P-R-I-N-G is FINALLY here!!
