You love drawing these days, now that you have much better muscle control in your little hand and fingers.  Of course, you draw what you love, which these days, is the Angry Birds and Bad Piggies gang :)  I'm sure that when you look back at this some day, you will find that the birds and pigs are quite recognizable :)

I was reading about children's development as far as drawings went, and at your age, most children just draw an overly large head with stick arms and legs coming out from the head itself.. You don't really have that problem with the birds or pigs because all they are made up of, mostly, is just a head! :P

You also identify me in your drawings with my glasses, and here's one where you drew daddy, cindy, mommy and yourself as CATERPILLARS wearing helmets. 
LOL.

Did someone say Playground? :)

Now this is a little further from your usual playgrounds, but to a little boy who loves them, it was fresh &magical :)

You rode on the see saw for the first time ever ( with Daddy! ), and loved it!

Another first was, we found swings that were just your size! All the swings we ever encounter are for older kids and intimidating.  These ones were low enough that you could sit and kick your legs and not feel scared or intimidated.

Daddy took this shot of you coming down the slide chute :)

Springtime in Winter

It shouldn't be, as it is still somewhat the dead of winter, but the weather has been unseasonably warm, and you have been able to go outside and play some.  On the very cold days, you may have to "settle" for the Kinect, ( yeah, right ), but on warmer days, you get to romp outside with your "machines" and blow bubbles ...... in shorts, a tee, and a fisherman's hat, no less.

Caps for Sale

One of the books we borrowed from the library a few weeks ago was Caps for Sale and there were/are a lot or free ideas and resources online on how to use the book for preschoolers and what not...

We also had a set of stackable cups/chairs from the Dollar Store that we got a number of years ago for the girls to play with at Taco Tuesday which was perfect as a fun thing to do to tie in with the theme.

Tuff Guy

Your old Dollar Tree sunglasses that you got from the Foxes for your 3rd birthday bit the dust when you stepped on them one fateful day.

So when we were in HEB one day, and I saw these, I got them for you as part of your Christmas stocking stash.

I think you rock those glasses, although you're doing one of those "No Mamarazzis in my face, please" pose :)

Also, for some strange reason, it brought back a long forgotten memory of THIS song!
