It's officially Spring; however, the calendar and weather aren't coordinating for the long awaited spring I've been envisioning. I'm anxious for sunny days, blooming flowers, evening walks and working on a garden. Instead, we've had snow, snow, and more snow, with a couple days of decent weather. We've taken advantage of the good weather, walking downtown, taking the kids for ice cream, and preparing for many camping trips this summer.
Mr N has had a taste for Spring, spending several hours playing in the backyard. After our latest snow, he was still determined to play outside for a long while, only coming inside after much prodding and frozen hands.
Yesterday my brother and his family came over to visit for a while, bringing gifts of dinosaurs and "squishy toys". Mr N was super excited to add to his dinosaur collection, he sorted his new ones and paired them up with his old ones of similar size. They then battled it out, with the rogue elephant maintaining his reign as champion. Whenever one of his cousins would come to reclaim their own dinosaur, Mr N would gently touch their shoulder and hand them the dinosaur he picked out that matched in size.
Watching him be so sweet and kind towards his cousins is so heartwarming. He's blossomed so much, he fills our hearts with so much gladness.
