Mary came to visit this past weekend and we went out to buy Ian a pair of rain boots. With all the snow melt he couldn't resist the water. Rather than try to fight it and/or constantly having to put his shoes in the dryer, we decided to equip him properly and let him go to town. He loves it!! Now the trouble is getting him to come inside when he's getting chilled. Whenever we say puddles or anything about going outside he now brings us his boots and starts fussing if we don't move fast enough. I love it.

He is so amazing! When Mary was here she gave him his wrapper from his string cheese and says, "Go put it in the trash." next thing I see is him walking over to the cabinet under the sink, opening it up and putting his wrapper in the trash just as if it was the simplest thing in the world. I had no idea he understood so well! I really think this is a new development though - like as of this weekend. Wow, we really have to start watching our language!!

He got his first haircut today... it was kinda sad to see his little locks being cut. He still has curls in the back - no worries there, grandmas! And I saved some for everyone. I took pics of the new do but the batteries died in the camera before I could upload. So.... you'll just have to check back later.
