I think outside is magic to little boys. And maybe to little girls too but I don’t know much about them. Whenever Maxwell is a little fussy or cranky (which is usually when he wakes up from his nap) I take him outside and his mood instantly changes. He’s so good at entertaining himself while we’re outside and is always happy…at least until we have to go back inside!! 🙂 Needless to say, we’re loving these spring days and sunshine!
This picture pretty much sums up Maxwell these days – outside with a truck, a ball and a graham cracker!
Doesn’t get much better!
In the next picture you can see here how his left leg is just a little scrawnier than his right after those 5 weeks in a cast.
I also happen to love the afternoon light in our backyard for photos. Indulge me…
I can tell you exactly what Maxwell is saying in this next picture – “Where’s Dada?” – just like he does every day around 5:00!
On another “outside” note, we decided this year to get our yard sprayed for mosquitos. We’ve only had one treatment so far (I think we get a few over the course of the summer) and it has already made a huge difference. I usually get eaten up while outside and I haven’t had one bite yet! I’d say that’s pretty great! The spray is all non-toxic and completely safe for kids. We used The Mosquito Authority and would highly recommend them to other B’ham folks!
So here’s to beautiful spring days, mosquito-less yards and lots of trucks to play with!
Let us know if you ever want to come over and play…we’ll be waiting for you at the gate!
Have a great day!
