Pulling into the driveway yesterday, I asked Preston, "Do you want to go outside?" His face lit up immediately. After a winter of being cooped up in the house, it was time to get into the sun and get the front of your shirt soaked in bubble solution. Each day holds its own little reminder that warmer days are ahead — the sun is a little brighter each morning, the birds are beginning to chirp, and slowly we can start to slip out of our big coats. The warm afternoon declared that we wouldn't be cold forever.
Squeals of "Bah-bools!" and "Pop!" echoed across the yard, and rocks were gathered and stored away by chubby little hands. The sun did us both some good, lightening our spirits and giving us a nice dose of vitamin D. I'm looking forward to more days like that.
