It has been a busy spring for us, we've been working on a lot of house/yard projects. Things seem to be coming along just fine. We put a fence up on one side of our yard, by the swamp. Eric also built a garden for me earlier in April. Taylor and I have planted a few things, potatoes, strawberries, carrots, onions, radishes, kolrhabi....so far the radishes have pushed through and the strawberries are doing wonderful. Taylor had lots of fun helping me plant, Eric even learned a few things about gardening and how it all works. Her favorite part was stepping the potatoes in and covering them up with dirt, then pushing the onion bulbs in and covering them up with dirt. She likes to go check on the garden each night to see what has popped through the ground! We have flowers, cucumbers, sweet corn, tomatoes, and peppers still to plant....just need another nice day and some warm weather that will stay.
Taylor is becoming such a big girl...she is now in PreSchool at daycare and LOVES it. She has been re-united with some of her "older" friends and does really well with all the other kids. She and her best friend Kacie are back together again. There isn't as much detail with the reports we get from PreSchool but I assume she is doing great with all the important things otherwise they would tell me. We are still working on the potty and naptime and bedtime routine. Some days she gets it and other days she gets wet!
With the weather being so nice we've been enjoying lots of time outside. Taylor has been busy with the neighbor kids, Allie and Zander. Allie is the same age as Taylor and they play really well together. They run over to each other's houses and back, have snacks and juice boxes at either house and just have a great time! We have also been able to have a few campfires with our neighbors. It is fun for all of us, enjoying smores and a few beers.
Taylor is busy planning her birthday party. She has been asking for a Barbie jeep for a couple of weeks now. We told her for her birthday maybe! We also said she would be able to get it early if she conquered this potty at naptime and bedtime time issue. She has a good understanding....when I pick her up from daycare, if she had an accident she tells me - no Barbie jeep today. Allie just got a jeep which she is sharing with Taylor, but of course she wants her own. Maybe this will help with the training.
The girls had a lot of fun driving the jeep around but they need driving lessons. As usual they just sit in the jeep, play the radio, and not worry about paying attention or steering. It is quite funny actually.
