This month, Eli has turned into a child who can be VERY strong willed and stubborn. He insists on taking his shoes off when he’s playing in the back yard (and often takes his jacket off, as shown in the picture below), despite the fact that our yard is FAR from perfect (more like completely imperfect and our neighbor’s grass is absolutely beautiful and I wish I knew the secret – it really is greener on the other side :) and has all kinds of bumpy, rough spots in the grass and the dirt. But… he throws fits and goes ballistic when we ask him to put the shoes and jacket back on… sometimes I just give up and figure he’ll realize it’s cold and uncomfortable soon enough (which he usually does and throws another fit because he’s so cold).
At the same time, here is Charlie, much more bundled up and appropriately dressed for the weather because he’s too young to have a choice in the matter. It was in the 50s and steadily dropping.
Ben was happy it was Friday and time for the weekend.
However, I realized I was way too happy it was almost springtime, because I left the sand table box open and all of our bikes and outdoor toys out in the yard, all of which were covered in snow when we woke up on Saturday morning. Bummer.
Thankfully, most of the snow has melted and we’re back to the 50s this week. I’ll take that over snow any day!

LOL!! my boys both wore short, t-shrits and sandals to the zoo last monday... it was 50 degrees and windy. i was FREEZING looking at them but all they felt was sun and springtime. i wish i was a kid. =)
If Charlie wasn't wearing that jacket, I would almost believe it was 70 degrees... since that's how Eli apparently likes to dress himself outside :) It makes it LOOK warm there, at least... perhaps he is exercising his power of positive though..."If I dress like it's 70 degrees, maybe it will warm up to 70 degrees!"
