Change of Scenery

"Outside?" is the most popular word out of Claire's mouth in the past couple days. No doubt it has to do with all the sunshine and warm weather we've been soaking up. There is just nothing keeping this girl inside these days. Now, more than ever, I am so grateful to live in a townhouse with a private fenced backyard. With all this nice weather lately, Claire has had the luxury to come and go through the open slider as she pleases. And let me tell you - that is all she does.   Last night while Kevin and I ate dinner, we watched the little angel push her grocery cart back and forth across the patio, jabbering to herself and stopping every so often to rip a wipey out of the pack I let her put in her grocery cart. Then she would stop, pick up a wipey from the pile in the cart and transport them one-by-one onto the carpet right inside the sliding door. As soon as all 12 had been transferred, she would start the process all over again to return them back to the cart. We must have watched her complete this cycle at least 3 times. Silly baby! But we weren't complaining - a happy baby and an uninterrupted dinner makes for two happy parents. All I know is this summer out in the sunshine with my family is sure going to be fun!
