It's spring!







In an effort to entertain Daniel while Mark is away, I took him to Maymont Park this afternoon. It was our first time there and it awesome! The flowers were blooming, the kids were out playing. The ice cream man even stopped by.



I'm posting some pictures so Schmoopie will feel like he was there. Here are some pictures of Daniel playing in the cherry blossom petals. (Papa, this really inspired me to get my real camera out and take some pictures when I have someone to help watch Daniel)






Dan even got to see some flowers. He was very gentle.



And then I suggested he sniff the flower, so he leaned in closer...




And, wait for it...



Attempted to eat it. Sigh. We'll keep working on that.


As we left the park there was a man playing the cello on a park bench. Daniel put his head on my shoulder and listened in rapt attention to the music for 15-20 minutes. Maybe he has found his niche? Or the music lessons are paying off?

When did you start teaching Daniel sign language. I read at 6 months but Giacomo still seems a little young ... and uninterested. Any advice?
