Ready for summer

We've been lucky to have had a really nice spring so far in Minnesota...we had no snow at all in March (which is pretty much unheard of) and just a couple weekends ago it almost felt like summer, it was so warm! Caleb loves to be outside and had a blast playing in the nice weather. We took a walk to the park (well he scootered to the park, I walked) and even had a 'picnic' out on the deck for dinner one night. He thought that was pretty cool. He is a little wary of the bugs outside, especially bees (could he have gotten this fear from me? I hope not!) but Marshall gave him a squirt gun and that's been helpful in fending off insects. He was also a little afraid of the loud noises made by the lawn mower, leaf blower, etc. but after helping Marshall with yard work he is proudly exclaiming that he is no longer afraid of things like that, even the dinosaurs at the museum! Watching Caleb follow Marshall around with his bubble mower, when Marshall is mowing the lawn, is one of the most adorable things. He just loves to help with stuff like that.
I've said this many times before, but I really love this age that Caleb is at. It's funny how I've felt that way so many different times during the span of his little life so far. He is just so sweet, caring and emotional and having conversations with him is truly one of the greatest joys in my life! We talk about everything and anything and he is ALWAYS talking. He's really excited for summer and is planning all of the things he wants to do...play outside of course, go to 'his park' (why are other people at MY park...we hear that whenever we drive by), go to the farm in Osakis, hang out with Auntie Dua (he wants to go to Chuck E Cheese, the toy store, the duck pond, have sleepovers...) and the list goes on.
