Warm Days in February

This past weekend Aunt Chrissy came to visit!  You had so much fun with her that you even wanted her to read you your book before nap instead of me!  It was the sweetest thing when you would reach out to her and say "Chrissy".  We also went to Kaleidoscope and Funville, the new and awesome exhibit at Crown Center.

We went back to Funville yesterday with Josie, Caleb, and Abby.  Then, after nap, we spend the afternoon in the back yard, just you and me, and made "bubble dough".  Bubble Dough is just liquid dish soap mixed with corn starch (that stuff is amazing!) and it made a great dough that was stretchy and squishy.  You played with it for a long time.  We rolled it into balls and threw them and rolled them down the slide, we stretched it and watched it break, we squished it and smashed it, you even tasted it (of course).  It felt sooooo good to get outside on a warm sunny day in February and get messy and creative.

Then we ate some cherry tomatoes which reminded me of our summer/fall days filled with you standing by the garden where we grew our cherry tomatoes, reaching up to the chicken wire, and signing "more" for me to pick some for you to eat or to lift you up to pick your own off the tall branches.  Yesterday I loved watching your sweet little hands holding and rolling the tomatoes before popping them in your mouth.
