Finally the warm weather is hitting us and boy is it hitting us hard! Yesterday the kids and I walked to a park about a mile away, which started off with just a walk and ended up with a day at the park. Half way there I was pushing all 3 in the stroller~ Yes all 100 lbs!! In 87 degrees smut. It wasn't just hot but the humidity seems to be way too summer like for me.
Once we got to the deserted park, the kids ran around and I tried to ease Annika into sitting in the grass. I love the age where they don't know what grass is and really don't want to either, which I found out was the case last week while at yet another park. Annika shrieked and pulled her legs up and clung to my shirt. I know I am wiered but it was a little comforting, she is my baby and I don't want her down exploring and all independent yet. I do want her to be exposed to all the things the world has to help her learn and grow~ but at the same time, I'm silly about wanting her to stay just where she is too. Yesterday she seemed to be taking great leaps and actually sat in the grass, pulling at what was poking her chubby thighs. She would stop and look up at me with wonder, a whole new world!
Logan came and sat down next to us and was all excited for her, encouraging her to crawl in it~ luckily she dined ;) For the first time this week it seems like Logan is actually interested in sitting down and talking and having a conversation, it seemed strange that I even noticed a difference because he does talk a lot but not just casual, "Hi Mom, how are you?" "What did you do today?" stuff. It's usually a bunch of mumbo jumbo about something he is making up, or asking for something. Yesterday he just plopped down and sat and talked, asking questions about me and Annika and suggesting that park for a camp out with his tent. It may have been he was just tired and didn't have any more energy to move, or maybe it was me actually having time to sit in an empty field with no computer, T.V, laundry, dishes, or time restrictions to disturb me from noticing that my kids are growing faster than I can keep track of. Hopefully the rest of the summer will hold many more of these moments, and I will have the sense to not let them pass by.
