Josh is on spring break this week, and it's already been soooo nice. This morning we went to the park to play, which is something very normal for Howie and Mama to do alone, but Josh got to come this time!! It was marvelous. Howie has discovered the bouncy horses at Heman Park and is completely obsessed with him. There are two of them in the park, one behind the other, and Josh put him on the front one this morning and Howie went to town bouncing. He's at the stage where he has definite ideas about what he wants to say but doesn't always know how to say it in a way that we'll understand, so it quickly became clear that Howie was dissatisfied by the wrinkled face and the "oohs" and other noises. Then comes the next step in this process: try to figure out what he's saying. I ran through a typical list before figuring out that he wanted Josh to ride the other horse behind him. (He's learned how to say yes and no, not with words, but with full-body shakes- it's really funny) So Josh got on the other bouncy horse behind Howie and the two of them rode off into the sunset. (metaphorically speaking)
Ahh, the simple joys of spring break.

Hey Betsy! Where is Heman Park? We need to get out and explore St. Louis more this spring!
Bets- I love this. Can you please video Howie's yes/no body movements for me. I would really like to see that!
So glad the whole family gets to enjoy SB together!
Love you!
