J fell in love with etch-a-sketches, it may have had something to do with a certain movie, Toy Story. He also re-figured out how to take pictures with my phone. The highlight of the week was visiting a working dairy farm. J had so much fun petting a baby donkey, trying fresh milk and fresh ice-cream, and most of all playing on a tractor. We ended the week at Paseo Park, where J overcame his fear and climbed all the rocks!
E loved our trip to the zoo this week with Daddy. We happend to go on the same day as the Earth Day celebration. E created a flower from a plastic water bottle, brought home a seed to plant a flower, learned about Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. In reward he earned a knorp (knife, fork, spoon). So far that is his favorite eating utensil and is only not used when it is dirty.
Joy is loving “spring” she played in a parking spot next to our van for a good 15 minutes and probably would have stayed for an hour. She loved catching/stomping the little yellow flowers falling from the Palo Verde tree. She also enjoyed the first time of this season Lagoon visit. She loved the sand and just having her feet dip in the water. The boys loved on her this week as J figured out how to pick her up and then of course E had to. The scariest part of Joy is her love to climb. Joy discovered the curved ladder and almost made it all the way up. The last step alluded her to get on the deck. I tried stoping her, but she kept going up until I lifted her over the last step.
