We had a lot of fun last weekend. We went mushroom hunting. Alexa had a great time and picked several mushrooms. She announced that they were all so "cute and tiny" and she kissed every one before placing it in the basket. Her favorite part of the day though was stomping in the mud. She loved it. We had to pull her out a couple times after her boots got stuck in the mud. It was a mess and she loved it.
Another highlight of the weekend was the circus! Alexa's favorite part - the clowns. Ask her about the circus and she will tell you that one of the clowns went to the dentist and the dentist pulled a chicken out of his teeth. She won't mention the elephants or tigers or trapeeze artists. The clowns beat everything else. She really did enjoy the whole thing and she does sometimes mention the lady that got shot out of a canon.
Now that the weather is getting better we ride our bikes almost every day. Alexa can ride her trike for quite a distance. She is eating better and better also. Tonight she ate corn for the first time for me - and baked beans! I was so excited. I love green beans but I was getting a little tired of them being the only vegetable we could eat. And corn has always been my favorite.
