Spring is here, warm days are here and so is the sunshine! With spring comes cute baby animals! Daddy found a little baby duck in the middle of the road the other day and couldn't find a momma duck anywhere. So, he picked up the sweet little thing and gave it to me to take care of. Of course I was infatuated with her and wanted to hold her every second of the day. Mommy made a nice house for her in a big tub and even gave her a little swimming pool to practice in. She was so cute swimming around and eating all of the bugs and seeds we fed her. Unfortunately our little ducky didn't live, even though I said lots of prayers for her. I was very sad when she died.
My Nonna had a big trip planned to see Auntie C's and the boys back in Pennsylvania and I was really jealous that I didn't get to go. Because she was going to be gone for Mother's Day, we celebrated the weekend before with a nice picnic at a winery. For Mommy's Mother's Day, we decided to stay home and spend the day together getting our garden ready for the year. We had a wonderful day as a family and got lots of tomatoes, corn, basil, and beans planted. Mommy and daddy decided to go a smaller garden this year because it is so much work. Mommy and I did get to go to a special Mother and Daughter tea party at my school that was really nice. Mommy and I got all dressed up and she even surprised me by straightening my hair! Much to her dismay, I am constantly telling her how badly I want my hair to be straight!
Maddox:
I love being two! I am such a great helper and becoming so independent. Unlike my sister, whom according to mommy didn't really go through a big independent streak, I really like to do things by myself. When they take me in to go potty and pull my pants down, I will often pull them back up and do it all over again! I also really like to crawl into my car seat on my own and buckle myself in. At least I try, though I often end up buckling my legs in through the arm straps!
Sissy told you about our little duck that daddy brought home but she forgot to tell you about her cute name. Maybe she was saving that for me to tell since I named her. Sister had named her all kinds of girlie things like Princess Sparklepants, or something silly like that. But we chatted and both decided that Sundae just seemed so much more dignified! Not sure I've really ever had a sundae, but when mommy explained what it was, it sounded pretty good to me! When Sundae died, I was a bit confused why I couldn't see her anymore. I asked mommy where she went and mommy told me that she went to Heaven to be with God. That made sense but I wanted to know how she got there so I asked... "Did she go in God's truck?". Mommy thought that was pretty sweet!
One of the cool things mommy let us do the other day was stick our heads out of her moon roof while we were driving down our dirt road. I have seen sister do it before but I've never had the chance because mommy was afraid that I would fall. The other day, daddy was riding with us on the way home from Nonna's picnic so mommy could hold on to me and keep me stable! Sissy and I had so much fun with our hair blowing in the breeze!
A cute little thing I said the other day when mommy was getting me ready for bed... she likes to play peek-a-boo with me while putting my clothes on... as my head went into my shirt I said "Where me are? And when my head popped out I replied "There me are!" Of course I said it with my cute little accent which made it all the more adorable because it sounded like this... "Wuh me aw? Duh me aw!"
