Herb Waterer

He loves to water the herbs...and also the sidewalk, grass, car tires, driveway, flower beds, etc. Most notably of late, he decided to water the sidewalk outside of the restaurant we were about to walk into. I was unloading sassy pants and heard daddy yell, "Ashton!!!" I immediately assumed he fell and expected to hear him cry out at any second. When I didn't hear a cry, I peered around the car door to see my sweet husband desperately trying to pull his pants up while waving and apologizing to a window full of customers. Ashton had a look of total confusement on his face, as to say, "What? I had to go."


Water on, precious boy. The days of you wearing a post-naptime pull up, holding a matchbox car and pee peeing in the backyard because you are having too much fun playing with your mama to go inside will soon be fleeting.


Water on.

Smarty Pants

This morning while reading an educational book on animals...


Me: "Look at the flying squirrel, Ashton!"


Ashton: "Mommmmmmyyyy. That's not a squirrel. That's a sugarglider. He's a mammal."


Silly me.

Strawberry pickin'

Yesterday, we headed out with some of our wonderful friends to pick our first strawberries of the season. Sublime, sweet strawberries. One of the first days of April, and it was hot.





Ashton was on a mission. All business. With every strawberry he picked, he would exclaim, "perfect!" or "look how red this one is!!". Emory was also on a mission...to eat her weight in strawberries. She was so adorable. The strawberry farm has "rules". Rule #1- pay for what you pick. In other words, don't eat 'em before you pay for 'em. Emory tried so hard, but let temptation take it's course every few minutes ;)

guaranteed

There is a 100% guarantee that wherever this baby is, whatever this baby is doing, and whoever it is that this baby is with...if you have been with him for more than 10 seconds, he has already smiled at you twice. I am truly putty in his little hands.
