What's the weather....

Sand Box TIME

Easter Outfit

playing with noodles

Oh the weather has been crazy for the past few weeks! We've had extreme heat- temperatures in the 90's and then cold again- down into the 50's. It has been rainy and stormy and even some deadly tornadoes! Two weeks ago there was 3-4 major storm systems that came through this part of the country and lots of damage was done. We fortunately came out unscathed but many lost their homes and some lost their lives.
With all the weather changes it has been hard to keep a certain little boy entertained! Aaron LOVES to be outside. He doesn't really care if it's hot or cold, raining or sunny he wants to go "out!" He gets mad when it is raining and we can't go outside. I try to come up with different activities to entertain him but nothing beats heading outside. Aaron got a new sand box that he loves to dig in, as well as a giraffe pool that he LOVES to splash in. He mows the yard, drives a car around, throws balls, and even shoots some hoops. There isn't too much he won't do outside! He is a great help cleaning up the yard, he will pick up sticks and throw them through the fence. He is a blast to watch and play with!
One of his other loves is "lala" which could be music ( more often than not as he dances and sings to every song) or it could be a light of any type. He almost always has a flashlight close at hand which comes in handy especially when our power went out! Aaron will break out in song frequently and if you turn music on he instantly starts dancing.
This has been such a fun age. He is learning new words and trying to talk to us all the time. He came inside today and instantly started babbling to me to tell me what he had done. Unfortunately I could not understand him but he felt it was important to talk to me! He is a major copycat and will watch you for a minute then do whatever action almost exactly the same way. He is very loving- always ready to give a big kiss or a hug. I am loving this age and helping him learn and discover the world around him!
