How can this little teeny tiny person bring so much big huge joy to our lives? I know all of these pictures are of her smiling, but she really is that happy... which can only rub off on the people around her. The warm weather has also put a smile on everyone's face these days. The flowers are all blooming, Greg mowed the lawn for the first time today and I washed all the winter dirt off the windows. Emme (almost 3) came over and her and Ava were introduced to their first toad... two of them in fact... who had made a new home of the water that had filled up our pond from the rain the day before. (I'll blog those pics in a second) Ava also got her first experience with bubbles... I was unable to capture any pictures as I was the bubble blower, but she was in heaven. I decided that bubbles were sort of a mean trick to play on a little one as I watched Ava concentrate to try and pick them off the carpet. She would concentrate harder and harder with each one hoping that she could pick up just one and hold it in her hand. No luck... they just kept popping. She did however like it when they would come at her face and pop on her nose and cheeks, so we tried to stick with that game. There is something about a baby that makes you discover the world for the first time. I've seen kids play with bubbles over and over again throughout my life, but watching my own see them for the very first time made me enjoy them even more than I ever have before. I don't remember the first time I experienced bubbles or grass or a toad, but I feel like it was today. It's springtime, take a little time to discover something all over again for the first time!
