Finally, yesterday we had some beautiful spring-like weather. I am still eagerly awaiting a “Robin-sighting” but if it wasn’t spring yesterday, you could have fooled me!

We got outside with Liam for a nice long walk, and when we got home, he enjoyed some playtime out in our backyard. Because he wasn’t really walking last fall, this was the first time we got to experience our child “playing” in our yard. It was so wonderful to see him playing on the grass with a ball, and later, carrying around the broom I had been using to sweep off the deck. He watched as an airplane soared above our heads, and was also delighted to see our neighbour’s children playing on the swings next door.

So many firsts happen with children, and all of them are special. This “first” is one of my favorites, and one that I will remember for many years to come!
