This month
Elijah turns 3!
we took the week
to play...
here
and there...
SO
come play.
"Spring is here," said the Bumblebee
"How do you know?" said the Old Oak Tree
"I spy yellow daffodills [or crocuses, as the case may be]...
Dancing with the fairies on the windy hill."
[said the Bumblebee]
At
l-o-n-g
last,
we can go outside without a coat,
plant some crocuses without a chill,
take a bike ride
to Parc de Sceaux.
and so...
At
l-o-n-g
last,
we did!
Leading up to his 3rd birthday,
Goggles
have been his favorite toy of choice.
At first they went everywhere...
the store
the neighbors house
the park
and then it was...
to church
and eventually
...to bed!
While on one hand he is
contemplative
and a doer of
what all newly turned 3 year olds do:
picking up precious stones
from even stone buried-in-cement pathways
"...they MUST come out somehow!"
...to begging for someone to kick the ball with him!
And so of course,
we do!
Who wouldn't?
...and then it's time for a rest,
but only on Mummy, of course.
