Boys will be boys!

Max has always been on the sidelines with the kids in the neighborhood...now that he has started walking using his walker outside since the weather had been so nice, he wants to be out with everyone all the time! We had a rain last week, then it got nice, but left big puddles and the kids were jumping in the puddles. Max begged to get out of his stroller, then crawled into the center of this nasty puddle and splashed around, sat in it, got completely dirty, picking up dirt in the water etc...then the other kids joined in and all got soaked. Of course I had to scoop him up when it was time to go in and I got soaked in nasty sewer water, we stunk! He loved it because he got to get naked when we got in, and get a bath! :) All the little girls kept looking on saying, gross!!! Oh boy, I am just waiting for him to now pick up bugs and worms...LOL!

What a beautiful day in Chicago!

Hi everyone! Yesterday, March 5th was such a beautiful day! It was warm enough outside to be out with a light jacket, so around 5pm all the mom's and kids starting coming out with their kids to run around...(our community is gated in, so all the kids play in front of the house and we all watch for cars pulling in) For almost two years, I go out there and carry Max or he has to be in his stroller etc...and as he is growing, he is getting heavy! Plus, he wants to be out with the other kids, so it has gotten tough this past summer and fall. Well, today was the first really nice day and Max and I went out and now that Max can walk using his walker, he was free to roam the village! I put him down with his walker and the smile on his face was unbelieveable! I wish I could have caught a picture of him. I did get a picture that is a bit fuzzy, but you can see him walking. He had the best time walking with the other kids and everyone made such a big deal of him. He was ear to ear smiles. Man, I can't wait for summer already!
