Project 366: Days 127-133

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"

The weather continues to persist in a constant and unexpected cycle of winter and spring, and even on the most sunshine-filled of days, we are sometimes surprised by a sharp chill when we open the door. Nevertheless, we take advantage of the warm days and push through the winter ones.

127.366 We bought a bubble blower, which you normally just ignore completely, but you do like to sit at the bubble blower and pop the bubbles as they rise out. The weather started to become a little warm, so before they planted the field, we would bundle up and venture out in the chill through the cornfield, collecting sprigs of tall grass, Black Cat and Foo Foo trailing behind us.

128.366 You've developed an intense desire to help lately. You are insistent upon washing dishes, although it often ends up in Mommy rewashing them or drying puddles of water off the floor.

129.366 Park days have come again! You love to run from one activity to the other, Daddy next to you for the ride. We sometimes go for a walk or visit the local ice cream shop too.

130.366 The moment you wake up, I lay you on the changing table, and without fail, you give a giant stretch every time.

131.366 Before it became warm enough for air conditioners to be installed, Mommy showed you how to talk into the fan. You'd rather Bunny Rabbit do the talking in the funny voice.

131.366 Chilly weather won't stop us from doing what we love...sidewalk chalk!

132.366 You love to pick the dandelions for Mommy and give them a big whiff. Then you hand one to me. "Here Mommy. A flower." you sweetly say.
