It's been great to be outside and enjoy all the fantastic weather that the spring has brought us. Harper is obsessed with going outside and loves, loves taking walks through the neighborhood. She has an extreme love for a dandelions and will pick every one in sight. We do our best to discourage her from picking other types of flowers but she can be quick and sneaky sometimes. She is so observant on our walks and loves pointing out things she knows... groundhog, truck, tree, airplane, rock, worm, bug... etc. Our walks are verrrrry slow if she's doing the walking because of course we need to stop and inspect every rock on the sidewalk or ant crawling into the grass. Harper has never really been the type of kid to ask to be picked up but dont ya know during this last month she will randomly ask to be carried at times during our walks. It's like she knows this baby is coming and she needs to be carried still while she can ;)
We went out to Keeneland one morning this month to have breakfast and watch the horses. Harper loved her pancakes and enjoyed seeing the horses but the little girl was tired and was upset that she was not allowed to touch every horse in sight. She also wanted to run as fast as she could which ended in a lot of falls and boo-boos :(
We had a fun time celebrating Easter with a bunch of extended family - Harper was seriously the best she has ever been in church which is always a good start to a day. She had a big time hunting eggs which we did for many days in our living room leading up to the big egg hunt on Easter. Of course when she was actually free to go hunt eggs with all the little cousins, she preferred to run and point at the ones in the trees or hidden deep in bushes rather than picking up the ones just sitting in the grass right in front of her. She cracked me up though... after the hunt she grabbed two reese's from her basket and ran far away from me, plopped down and proceeded to try to open them up as fast as she could. She knows what those shiny wrappers are all about!
Harper is getting all ready for baby Emma Kate to arrive - she loves giving the baby hugs and kisses. At school, her teacher told me that some of the older girls were talking about babies so Harper pulled her dress up to show them her baby as well ;) We of course had to get that on our camera to show her many years down the road :) We saw a tiny 5 day old baby in the store yesterday.. Harper's reaction was 'wooooooow.... WAKE UP'. HA! we're going to have to break the habit of her fun little game of waking everyone up ;)
Harper's sweet babysitter has been working on learning letters with her and they always have the cutest crafts each week for the new letter she learns. We have been so lucky with sitters for her and it makes it so, so much easier to go to work when you know your child is in good hands!
We are super excited for the pool to open - harper has mini-inflatable pool that we've played in a few times but I know she will be so excited for the real deal this summer. Hope baby Emma Kate is ready for some adventures because I know big sis is going to keep us busy!!
