One. Outside!
The weather finally got nice here and we were able to spend some time outside. Bo is facinated with the grass and loves picking at everything on the ground. He got his first taste of dirt this week too. He thought it was hilarious as I was trying to wipe it all out of his mouth. We may not be able to spend much time in the grass, as every leaf, weed, and flower goes right in his mouth.
Two. Stairs.
Dean taught Bo how to climb up the stairs. At first it was just one step and then it was all the back porch steps. Instead of using his knees he tries to put his foot up on the next step. It is a little scary. Dean thinks I should teach him to go down, but I don't want him going up or down so I am going to discourage any stair climbing for as long as I can.
Three. Tulips.
On Wednesday we went to Holland, MI to Tulip Time. It was an overcast rainy day but we still had fun. We watched the parade, which Bo loved. He especially liked the flags and marching bands. It was fun to see him get so excited. We had a good time. The tulips haven't all bloomed yet, so that was a little disappointing. The ones that were bloomed were very pretty but it would have been nice to see a bigger variety of them. We have one random tulip in our yard that has bloomed so I can look at that and imagine a whole field of them.
Four. Garden
Soon I will be planting our garden. I probably should have already started but it hasn't been warm and I have to ask our neighbor to till it for me. I am not sure what all I will be planting but I know it will have Bo's current favorites (carrots, green beans, and peas). I am going to try tomatoes again. The last two years they haven't worked out. Probably no green peppers or zucchini, as we still have some in the freezer from last year. We will probably try watermelon and muskmelon, even though I didn't have good luck with those last year either. I guess we will just see how I feel when I go to buy seeds. I am also going to a canning workshops so maybe I will get the motivation to can some things too.
Our happy pea eater.
Five. Mother's Day.
This will be my first official Mother's Day. Last year I was pregnant, so that kinda counts. I love being Bo's mom and getting to spend my days with him. Even those days when he is fussy or wears me out from trying to get into everything. I enjoy seeing him grow every day and watching him experience new things. He is such a happy boy and I love the inquisitive personality that is developing. I loved my life before I was a mom but I love it even more now.
