Party time! Mommy's home for a month!

Maren:
Mommy came home from the hospital and it is great to have her home.  Because of her surgery, she has to take some time off of work and we are really happy to have her home.  Even though she is home she still has to rest a lot so brother and I are spending lots of time with Nonna, Nonno, and daddy.  Mommy still tries to get little bits of time with us when she can.  She spends lots of time snuggling on the couch, reading us books, and watching us play in the playroom.  We've done lots of finger nail painting (we even painted Mackie dogs!) and taking short walks over to the chicken coop. 
While mommy was home for the month, I got to go on another date with daddy to another dance!  This time mommy did my nails and curled my hair for me and she did a really great job. I was really scared of the hot curling iron and the way the hot hair felt on my skin but I loved the beautiful ringlets she made. 
As the weather gets a bit nicer we have been able to be outside and fire season is in full swing!  We have had a few nights by the fire, roasting hot dogs and making smores!  One of my favorite things to do on a nice evening.  We've had a our share of rain with spring which means walks and puddle splashing!  My brother is already a pro at it but I had to show him how to really do it! 
Mommy and I broke out the box of Easter decorations one day when brother was napping.  I took my time decorating the Easter Egg tree and think it is beautiful.  I am excited for spring and wish it was Easter today!

It has been really nice having mommy home.  We have been going to Nonna's house quite a bit, to give mommy a break to rest but I still really like having her around all of the time.  Mommy can't carry me around but she spends a lot of time on the floor with us or we spend time with her on the bed.  I've been getting lots of snuggle time and you can never go wrong with that.  On the night that sissy got to go to another dance with daddy I got some good one on one time with mommy.  We had a great night together... we played games, did puzzles, had a yummy dinner of my choice (Mac-and-Cheese of course), and homemade banana ice cream.  I wanted to be naked most of the night, except my "work gloves", hat and boots.  Mommy got a real kick out of me. 
I have enjoyed having our family nights by the fire.  I am a bit afraid of the fire and I keep telling mommy and daddy, " No throw me in the fire!"  I don't want to sit too close and I definitely don't want to roast my hot dog, preferring instead to eat them raw!  Which mommy and daddy think is really gross!  Mommy made me my very first smore... which I only ate a few bites of before running off to play.  So, with our second fire, mommy made me a plain old roasted marshmallow.  I ate one bite of that and spit it out. 
Another fun thing about spring is all of the rain and puddles that come with it!  I don't mind being outside even if its raining!  If I see a puddle you can be sure that I'm gonna splash in it! 
I am rocking the potty training... and darn near there.  I rarely wear a pull up any more when I am at home, in fact I don't even wear one when I take a nap.  I tell mommy and daddy when I need to go potty and am even going out on outings without a pull up!  I have woken up dry for weeks now!  Mommy and daddy are so very proud of me!
