Good morning!

I thought I'd do a real quick post while Bear Cub and I eat our breakfast.  Wow, it's been another busy week!  Daddy has been away for work, making my days and evenings even MORE hectic, making it hard for me to blog again.  But, here it is, Thursday already...so hard to believe!

Let's see...we've been busy with our usual activities.  Gymnastics on Monday, which went well!  BC is starting to let his teacher help him with the forward rolls and he has discovered that he LOVES to hang from the short bars and let me help him get his feet up, so he can swing.  He had been nervous about this until I said that he was swinging like Curious George.  Well, ever seen that was said, he's all for it!  I need to think of things like that for everything!  :)  

We also went to story time at the library and checked out all kinds of books.  We have TONS of books at home, but it's always nice to get some different ones during the week.  Bear Cub continues to love books - I bet I read to him for at least 45 minutes a day.  Reading time is one of the few moments that he sits still enough for me to snuggle in with him!  He's also starting "reading" to us.  It is so adorable!  He likes to re-read a book that we've just read to him.  And it is amazing how he can almost repeat the story verbatim!  He even uses the same kind of expression that we use.  He is so proud of himself after he's finished his book, and we are too of him.  I hope this love of reading continues forever for him!

Each day we've been on our "bug hunt" around the neighborhood.  Yesterday, BC caught 3 ladybugs for his little bucket.  He was so excited!  We spent well over an hour exploring, or "sploring," as he calls it.  He is an outdoor kind of guy!  

This morning we are going over to a friend's house to play.  I was also hoping to get to the gym in the afternoon and get BC in the pool for a swim, but our weather has been pretty cloudy this week.  Looks like more of the same for today...  Our swim may have to wait until next week. 

I'm really looking forward to Saturday morning and the big Easter egg hunt at our church.  I think Bear Cub will have a blast this year!  He really had fun last year, but I can only imagine how he'll run and hunt this year!  I'll be sure to get lots of pictures of the big outing!  

Have a wonderful day!  I'll post more pictures soon!  :)
