Today was a great day!
1. In the morning I was living it up in my crib. I'm learning how to jump and jumping in my crib is a riot!

At lunch Hannah, gramma, and grampa came over to finish the last couple housekeeping tasks for grampa's 80th birthday party on Sunday.

2.Mom wouldn't let me go swimming. But as it turns out she just wanted me to have my life jacket and trunks on before going swimming. I don't know if I really get why, honestly my new trick this week is my ability to jump so jumping into the pool is the best activity I've ever done in my whole life.

3. Gramma fed me oranges and it felt like summer time with the juices dripping right down my belly.

4. 500 on Friday came and went and i couldn't find dad in his normal places, his bed, the bathroom, eating in the kitchen, so i was searching everywhere for him even under the couch incase he was hiding there, he wasn't.

5. My mom showed me the secret new activity called coloring or something like that. It was medium fun, much more fun when i used my left hand and quite frustrating when i had the marker on the right hand. I'm not sure why it's not called making if I'm using a marker, but whatever I'll trust my mom with that one.

6. My mom had picked quite a few strawberries and I was trying to help her cut off the caps, but my berry kept rolling away so I ate it. Problem solved

Am i the only one who has more ideas for what they would like to do in a day than is actually possible?
I got a tip recently, if you know you're going to be busy for a few days, just use paper plates, and that was a game changer tip for me this week. Yup we ate our T- bones on the flimsiest paper plates.
And where that really made a difference in was today, I was able to get a good start on my strawberry jam without needing to clean my counter off first.

I've had some people asking where to find berries since I'm not open this year. However I was never on this list so you may be able to find someone small like i was. I don't know if any personally myself.

The first days of spring are hard to beat.
Today i helped with the goat chores, picked some dandelions with mom and my hands turned so yellow but it tasted kinda bitter. And helped water the flower garden!

I took an epic nap, it was my first time actually napping in my crib when she put me in awake. I think I might be growing up again (or I was just really tired out. )

The help around here is generally enthusiastic, all hands on, generally things wander off. It doesn't matter if he's helping mom or dad, he's always willing!

Blue plaid shirt and kahki pants for the David's today!

Today I woke up and was ready to go outside. I thought, "it looks too nice to eat before going to play", so I pointed and grunted at the windows until my mom got the picture.
We pulled the taps and started to clean up the maple syrup mess, and made more messes. I was snoozing on the job and mom let half of the finished syrup boil over, she was disappointed. I wasn't because when I woke up grandma was over to make us waffles to eat with our so fresh it was still warm syrup!
Mom even let me scrub the pots after they were done on the stoves. She said oh boy a lot when she realized how much soot was on the dark one. Luckily she decided I was already grubby so she let me play, whoops, help clean the pot until I decided it was clean enough.
For some reason she brought me straight into the bathtub after that.
The rest of the maple season was pretty blah. I mean it was fun helping her tap the trees and stuff but most of the other boiling I was busy working on our driveway. Or dad was home and I mean mom is great but... she's just not my dad.
.
The crocus flowers popped today, mom says they're the pop up thermometers for the ground temperature, when they bloom she says the ground is defrosted enough to start writing in the garden. So this week we'll probably plant our peas, and some spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, and some radishes. Maybe even more if she has seeds for other cold hearty veggies.

Grandma and Grandpa made it home from being snow birds, so we had one more little party for David.
But honestly when the urge to clap arises, watch out, even your own face might get in the way. 🤣

Birthday week! One of us is 1 and the other is 37.
I became determined to wait until he was one to cut his hair, he was not a fan of the hair cutting but did sit pretty good for me! He didn't shake his head or try to escape, auntie Hannah was being his entertainer. But it could use some touch up before his next bath if I can.
