Wow Its Almost Like Spring!

Another warm day here in Northern VA. I decided to take Gracie out for a walk today in downtown Strasburg. (Its historic and scenic in our downtown, not scary and creepy) We didn't even need jackets! It was 65 degrees at 3pm and it was likely warmer during early afternoon. Gracie and I both enjoyed the weather, and I got an extra dose of exercise. We even made a stop in my favorite second hand store and found a Franklin video (Gracie's new favorite). Franklin things are very hard to find, especially the videos, so if any of you find Franklin merchandise would you please let me know.

I have no idea how long these spring-like temperatures are going to stick around, but I am all for an early spring. Although Garren isn't happy about winter being cut short--he loves the snow!

Anyway, tomorrow is Garren's birthday, so we are excited to celebrate the big 2-8. He has asked for carrot cake (as usual), so I am sure Gracie and I will have fun baking and making things nice for Daddy.

I wanted to update Gracie's growing intellect. Two days ago she surprised me twice with how much she has retained. There was a piece of provalone cheese on the table that I had just pulled apart, and she looked down at it and said "crescent." I couldn't believe it, the cheese actually looked like a crescent shape. Later that day she showed me how to sing and play "Ring-Around The Rosie," she was so cute, and she even demonstrated the "all fall down part!" I guess she learned that from a Barney video or episode, but I was very impressed. Last night Gracie brought me a Clifford book. It was a word book that had lots of little pictures in a scene all labeled. So, I decided to see what she could find. I asked her "can you find the doll, bear, cake, etc." She found nearly every one! I was so proud. I am pretty sure that being able to find things on a page cluttered with objects is really good for a 22 month old! My smart baby!

I think you likely all have enough of a cavity from this entry so I will leave it be. Have a great week, and let us know how you are doing!!
