Sprinklers

A sure sign of spring: the sprinklers are coming out! Very often on Friday afternoons, someone will put out their sprinkler toys and people will congregate as they're out on walks. Usually there are treats, and drinks for the mommies and daddies, and the kids love getting soaked and running around. It was so nice on Friday, we were able to put our suits on for the first time this spring. I don't think Peter remembered what it was like having a bathing suit on, because he wasn't too sure about his swim shirt, but he went with the flow. Poor guy didn't have any flip-flops, so he had to wear his socks and tennis shoes with his suit (super nerdy) but thankfully didn't seem to mind at all. Peter tentatively put his foot in the water, and really seemed to enjoy jumping around once he got the hang of it. I kept flashing back to Peter last spring and remembering what a baby he looked like in his darling little swim suit, just starting to pull up and begin and scoot around. Wow, what a difference a year makes! He looks like such a big boy now in his swim suit, and really enjoyed the water. Lizzy loved running around with the big kids and dashing in and out of the sprinklers. We were having so much fun Amy ordered pizza for all the kids and everyone, even the little ones like Connor and Peter, sat together on the picnic blanket and ate their dinners! Everyone wants to be part of the crew, I guess:)
