Springing
Spring is in the air and we have started to explore the wild places in our area once again!
I love watching the boys run along wooded paths, searching for bugs, or worms, or other creeping things.
Even more amazingly, Grant has become quite the little birder. While other nearly two year olds are just "watching the birdies", Grant is shouting CARD-NAL, and O-WUL (the great horned owl was actually his first bird of interest -- which caused him to scream and cry like his toes were being snipped off), and "PECKER" (for woodpecker) and CHIC-DEE. He studies the bird identification book like he's gotta be ready for some quiz on the day of his kindergarten screening. My favorite is when he shouts out "PEACOCK" when he hears a new bird. I'm trying to get him to guess more along the lines of the most likely suspect (sparrow).
