Amma made Anna and me a sandbox in the backyard (from what used to be the pond)! It is really cool. I love digging in it and playing with dump trucks and dumping sand. (And there is a lot to dig in - 1,100 lbs worth of sand.) Sometimes I even want to go play in it in the morning before school.
While getting out the door in the morning can sometimes be challenging, I really like my morning walks with Amma and Anna. Sometimes Anna is on his bike so we have to go quickly to catch up. We walk by mamma bear and baby bears and the two owls (hoo hoo) that are carved in the tree. We walk through the park and under the tree tunnel. While Amma drops off Anna, I get to play with the toy kitchen. Then we make our way to Homestar and Amma narrates our walk. Once there I usually get breakfast right away (unless we are early, in which case I play). And then I enjoy playing with snow, mud, singing songs, and dancing in the circle.
Appa's cousins visited from India and we had a grand time. We had a snowball fight at Bear Lake (on the lake) in Rocky Mountain National Park. We hiked to Bluebell shelter at Chautauqua and got to eat oranges. We went to the zoo and saw snakes and giraffes and got to sit in a rickshaw.
My bedtime routine now includes the classic book Goodnight Moon. I just love it. Especially the colored pages. And the socks (I touch my feet) and mittens (I wiggle my hands). And the toyhouse!
My vocabulary continues to expand. Some of my new words this month include airplane! (I'll point them out whenever I hear one in the sky), cheese, house (inspired by Goodnight Moon), boat, shoes. I even uttered my first full sentence - I want more (you can hear it if you are familiar with me). And I am saying more sounds too - like ggroooaaar for bear.
The month also included a good Easter celebrating Christ with Jay, Saori, the boys, and grandpa. We celebrated Amma's birthday at the beginning of the month (including chocolate cake for breakfast, yum!) And I got to play in a bunch of cars at the auto show with grandpa.
Thank you God for books, sand, and family.
