This evening Joy & Zach came over. We all played on the front lawn for a bit before I went inside to start supper. David was having fun climbing up the stairs and down the stairs, up the stairs and down the stairs when J & Z first arrived. He caught sight of Joy walking across the lawn and took off walking towards her- and didn't stop until he reached her, about a distance of 10 feet! Until now he's just taken a few steps before plunking himself down on his bottom. Here we go...
On our way home from the park today, Nolia noticed a man standing outside without his shirt on. She was quite interested in this and had many questions. So when we arrived home she wanted to play outside without her shirt on. Our yard is secluded and she's four- why not? Of course, when Zach arrived and saw Nolia shirtless, he immediately took his off, too. Then while Joy, baby & I were inside somehow they decided to take their shorts off, too. We made them put them back on, but once they were inside playing off the shorts went once again. And Zach's underpants. At which point Joy had to point out that this was not a nudist colony and made him get dressed again. I guess as long as they're not doing this when they are 16... we're good. Do all pre-schoolers love to get nekkid? (Goodness knows my kids' daddy sure still does; although he will mostly confine his urges to night-time skinny dipping at the lake. Mostly.)
Chris returned home from his workshop in Central Florida just in time for supper. Afterwards we had a dessert picnic outside beneath the hogplum cherry tree which right now is a cloud of tiny white flowers. I love this time of year, when all the spring trees and shrubs are blooming. Makes me itch to get to a nursery and buy azaleas for the yard... a dogwood tree or two... perhaps another redbud tree...
