Definitely not my finest Moment!
Easter was great, Oliver looked darling and it was fun to look back at pictures and see how much he has changed over the four Easters he's had.
The lower left was his first Easter, the bottom right was last year, and the upper right this year. I can't decide which version is the cutest :) I loved every age for different reasons.
He is going through a major language explosion as he is starting to piece together how the world works. One funny little thing he does is to combine words...fresh sage = frage, terrible and horrible = herrible (my favorite), amongst others. He is very inquisitive asking a lot of questions, needing clarification about why things work a certain way, wanting to define the world around him, he's a great help in the kitchen and carrying in groceries, and he loves to give directions to others when he feels confident about how to do things. He is beautifully trusting and maybe will be gullible like me; Justin has him test how cold his sodas are on his stomach before he hands them over and every time without fail, Oliver will lift up his shirt, hold the cold can to his stomach and then hand it over to Uncle Justin saying "Yeah, its really cold!" lol.
April looks like it will be a month of travel with some work stuff exploding around me that I need to take care of down in Oklahoma. In the meantime, Oliver is getting a ton of time with his Dad and I will maybe get a little break from the childcare costs.
Our good news of the month is Oliver was on a waiting list and got into Raintree Montessori starting in June. Higher education is in our future! Raintree is a wonderful school and if we find ourselves still in Lawrence when the time comes he can also go to Elementary school there. I remember kids that came from Raintree and they were always so ahead of the rest of us. He is my world and his education is my priority--so I am truly excited to find a place like this that we feel at home. I will be sure to take pictures when he starts.
More later.
