A Hint of Spring

Crazy good weather these days.  I'm sure it's just a tease, but we've hit 70 degrees with sunshine a couple of times this week. Hard to believe that just a week ago we woke up to a snow covered lawn.  Anyway, we've decided to make the most of it while it's here so Carver and I have been playing outside a lot this week.  Now that he's so mobile, this has been so much fun.  Carver loves to be outdoors, loves to go to the park, loves to play in the grass, loves to carry leaves and sticks.  It's so cool.

Today I rushed home from work, dropped Winston off, picked Carver up and headed to Pitts Park.  Mommy had a girls night out planned, so it was just us guys tonight.  This was the second park visit in three days and third time we had gotten to play outside this week.  Carver had a great time on the swings and even tried to climb up the slides for a while. The climbing was pretty unsuccessful, but I think he'll get the hang of it. We also walked around the big grassy field for a while and of course Carver picked up pretty much every leaf he saw and held on to them all the way back to the big truck.  Luckily, daddy figured out a fun game to get the leaves out of the hands so we could avoid the huge meltdown that was bound to happen if I just grabbed his treasure and tossed it.

I can't wait for this weather to settle in to stay.  Carver is going to be a blast this spring and summer.  He loves being outside so we should have a great time together at camp this summer.  I guess I will miss some of the past stages from year one, but this daddy wants to play with his kid, so I'm super pumped he's walking and ready to play.
