Warm Up? Maybe, Maybe Not

It was warm and not it is not so much but spring is on the way, the flowers are popping up, we've planted pansies, broccoli and peas. We've been spending afternoons outside and I love that the kids just put their shoes on and head out whenever they feel the urge. Josh and Mira have been playing outside together nicely and it is fun to watch them go and not have to set them in motion. Evie has been getting out and running around. I can putz around in the yard myself while they are at it.

Evelyn is starting into her terrible two's with a periodic temper tantrum and she sometimes pipes up with a 'stinky pete' here and there. (Baby swear words) Mira finally let me put her hair in pig tails again and she looks like a doll. Evie's pig tails stick out straight from her head and are absolutely adorable. Joshua has been moving right along with his reading practice and he does better and better every day. He is also more and more eating the dinner that is placed in front of him without complaining. It is quite a relief to not have to worry about what he is eating, finally!

I am toying with the idea of moving Evie and Mira in together in Evie's room and big, big bed. They are so close in size that I joint closet seems like it would be easier than sorting out their clothes every few days. I tried them sleeping in the same bed tonight but it didn't work out. I'll probably try moving Mira into bed with Evie when she is asleep. Once we do that, I'll bunk the beds for Joshie and he is really looking forward to that.
