in his element...in the elements...

Ezra loves being outside. Rain, shine, cold, windy, hot...it doesn't matter. He literally wakes up and says "side" (outside) before he even nurses. He knows he has to wear shoes in order to go outside (too much cactus to go without) and so he will sometimes bring me his shoes to put on him, and attempt to go outside while totally naked, yet with shoes on. These days it's a little chilly for that...so pants and a shirt are also required, which is helping us a lot with motivating him to get dressed (the boy prefers his birthday suit at all times, so getting dressed can sometimes be a bit of a challenge).

Here he is playing out in the rain the other day. He is collecting rain to use to water the garden. A clever boy he is. So 'green'.


And, I think he decided he would try to see if he could stay dry for a few minutes by hiding under the bank roses.


Last week we went over to Owen's house to play in the tot lot in their neighborhood. It was a little chilly...so we made the boys hot cocoa to bring along.

Here they are in the "cocoa house"...


Seeing them play together always makes me smile!
