Not as nice a day today as some recent days, but we ended up running around in the backyard all the same. It's still not really spring, no matter what the astronomers say, but there are a few hardy little weeds poking up flowers that haven't quite opened yet. SteelyKid already knows what to do with these: Pick them up, and give them to Mommy.
We also took turns riding on the swing in the backyard:

But by the time it was my turn, SteelyKid was tired of swinging, and much more interested in admiring the neighbors' yard.
Admittedly, their yard is in much better shape than ours, as a result of not having as many trees. Looks like I have some yard work ahead of me...

When Kate and I were looking for a house back in late 2002, one of the things that sold us on this place was the back yard. The lot is very deep, unusually so for this part of Niskayuna, so there's a lot of space in the back yard, and it was pleasantly shaded by trees.
the Pip officially has strep throat, and thus had to stay home today, but the antibiotics he started yesterday (over his very strenuous objections) have worked wonders, so his energy level was pretty much back to normal.
Hrmm... Looks like pretty soon you're going to have to give up baby blogging in favor of toddler tweeting. And then before you know it, it'll be teen texting, university youtube, and then wedding wiki.
