I had a stomachache on Saturday, and our sweet little guy came to snuggle with me on the couch! He was my real life teddy bear. :-)
We (finally) had a gorgeous, sunny day over the weekend and did lots of planting in the backyard. We knocked out a bunch of stuff during nap time, and once Max was up and ready to join us, he helped plant and water a few flowers!
But his favorite part was watering the grass, driveway, and my car.
After playing with the watering can and hose all afternoon, Max was soaked so we stripped him down outside. He thought it was pretty fun (and we thought he looked pretty cute!).
A few weeks ago we hung a bird feeder and Max helped fill it with birdseed (and also sampled a handful. Mom of the Year, here! haha). It took a while for the birds to find it, but now we have so much fun watching little birds come to the feeder. We can see it from the kitchen table, and Max gets so excited when a bird flies up.

Aunt Lisa (who teaches preschool) sent Max a cool dinosaur hat! Max thought it was great fun.
"Max, stand sideways so I can take a picture of the tail part." I love how he stood really still and made this face:
The following photos have nothing to do with Max... just some pretty blooms from our front yard.
Last week the story time theme at the library was dinosaurs. The librarian had barely finished inviting the kids to play before Max started running to the front to try on a dinosaur hat!
We are hoping Max's enthusiasm for mowing the lawn is this strong 10 or 12 years from now.
Max's school had some themed days during Earth Week. He was really excited to bring his elephant to school on the animal day!
Lesson learned: If your two year old smears watercolors on his face, wash it off immediately. He had a blue stained cheek for about two days! Ooops.
