Spring Break 2013: Day 1 & 2
I've been gearing myself up for this week. Spring Break with all four boys. So far they've been very good to me and we're having a blast. It seems like the past two years we haven't been very successful with fun outings. I've had a wandering baby that you can't take to public places. Or too pregnant to want to go. And newborns aren't very much fun to take anywhere. I feel like we've finally arrived and I'm now brave enough to face crowded places with my brood.
Yesterday, we got the errands out of the way. A trip to the library. Originally I'd only planned for us to run in to pick up a "community exploration" pass, but we stayed and read books for awhile. Then shoe shopping for the boys. And then a Costco trip. They passed the test, so we made plans to do fun things the rest of the week.
Today we went to Discovery Gateway. We've been here many times, but I don't think Connor has been once. So sorry third child. It was so fun to watch him discover this place for the first time. He would have been happy to just play all day with the balls (the first thing they see when they walk in). Each turn we made, he got so excited. Baby Jacob (no pictures) was happy as can be snuggled in the wrap. Andrew & Joshy were great helpers and were good to stay close.
And here is the picture overload:

"Ok!"
When it gets quiet, I'll holler out for Connor, "Connor?" "Connor?" "What are you doing?"
His response is always, "Ok!" And comes running to find me. He may or may not have been getting into trouble. He has been climbing out of his crib. At first it was dozens of times. Randy or I put him back in each time, no talking, no eye contact. He tries to interact with us, "Hi!" "Hi?" Eventually, he gets tired or bored and stays in his bed. Lately, though, I just don't want to play that game anymore. So I give him a stern talking to, "Connor. You stay in your bed." He says, "Ok." It just melts my heart every time. How can you be mad at a little critter like that, he's just too cute.

First Stroll
We've been waiting for this day a looong time. Finally warm enough to get out for a stroll.
