What a great weather weekend - we got a glimpse of summer weather, can't wait! In fact, it was so warm on Friday that when we came home from running errands, I had to change Lila's clothes because she was sweating in this outfit. But isn't it precious?? I got this at a cute little shop in Melbourne, FL when we were celebrating Mary's birthday last year. I didn't ever think it would fit her! But it finally does.
We changed her into a summer outfit and she was much happier. She had just woken up and I love her expression.
We headed off to the zoo to celebrate the warm weather. It was the first time to the zoo by myself with both kids. We did great. I mean, yes, it's a lot more work, but it's worth it and I didn't even think about it being the first time until after we were home. It helps that both kids were angels.
Nate even let me take his picture quite a few times. I think he looks so good in green & blue!
I know this picture has shadows, but I love his expression. He had just shouted out to me from a few feet away that he saw a certain kind of butterfly. He called it by name. And I had no idea what he was talking about. He just kept shouting it over and over - it was kind of a technical name (I don't remember it now) and he was so excited that he saw it. We were starting to get stares because he was looking like Encyclopedia Butterfly, so I told him to come over to this chart and point it out. Sure enough, there it was. Correct name and all.
Ugh. I love having a big boy, but it makes my heart hurt at times because he is so grown up. He is such a big boy. And handsome. And blessed with some awesome hair.
Outside the penguin house (Yes. I went in. Scott wasn't with us so I had to do my duty as a mother. It wasn't that bad), Nate wanted to get on this ledge. Sure, I said. It wasn't that high. And then he wanted to walk along it. So I told him to hold my hand, while I pushed the stroller with the other hand. We were having a great time. This older gentleman asked me if I needed help. I politely declined. We really were fine. He was looking very concerned for us. And then he asked again. And again. I was glad when Nate got down.
On Saturday morning, I walked in the living room to find this. It looked like when I used to study and had books laying open everywhere. Nate had his big Lego book open and was doing his own rendition of one of the large space ships. He would study a minute and then construct. Study and then construct. I love it.
Rice cereal didn't really agree with Sis Lou. So we switched to oatmeal and she seems to be doing much better so far. Nate asked for some oatmeal while Lila was eating hers. So here they are eating oatmeal together. So sweet.
Here's to Spring hopefully being here for good!!
