Calvin has been learning about shadows and had a lot of fun with his one morning when the sun was streaming through the windows. 
Tried to get a good picture but this is all he would give me!We have certainly been taking advantage of the amazing weather we have been having recently. All Calvin wants to do is "play outside" and "go to park." The schools are on Spring Break so we have been able to go to the elementary school (the "park") during the day all week. If we aren't there we are in our driveway/backyard playing baseball, soccer, basketball, or digging in the garden. We also have been loving the extra daylight in the evenings because we get to stay out longer. Here's hoping that this beautiful weather lasts through the Spring right into Summer!
We had Calvin's first parent/teacher conference last week. He's doing well in school and his teacher reports that they enjoy having him in class. When asked what he hopes to do at school Calvin's answer is usually "play puppets." His class has finger puppets that he just loves to play with. He still enjoys puzzles and reading books with the assistant teacher.
Potty training has begun! Well, it did a few weeks ago but we've had a set back. Within the first week Calvin wasn't having any accidents and was even waking up dry at nap time and in the morning. Recently his new game is to tell us that he needs to go potty but then refuse to try. He has found a button to push and he pushes it a lot!
We are remodeling our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. Once everything is done I think it's going to look really good but right now it's a disaster. Not much left to do but there never seems to be enough time to get much done at once. Hopefully this weekend will be productive.
