This month started off being pretty busy, since it was your spring break. Grandma and Grandpa planned field trips for you on a few days. You played at the beach at Cabrillo, went on the train rides in Griffith Park, and you went to the Science Center. You were a little disappointed with that one, because the water exhibit that you enjoy was under repair, but you did have fun showing Grandma and Grandpa the really disgusting bug exhibits.
Other than that, it was a fairly calm month. We looked at some houses this month. That's always an interesting time with you. You dislike leaving the house, so sometimes we have to nag you to death just to get you into the car. Then when you're at the prospective house, you're always excited to explore all over it. Then you tell me that you definitely want to buy this one, for whatever reason; once, it was because the people moving out had left an exercise ball in one bedroom and you were convinced that we should buy the house to get the ball.
You and Grandma continue to spend your afternoons working on something with either letters, numbers, or state history. Your handwriting has already improved, which I think is good. If you can end up with good handwriting, instead of chicken-scratching like Dad, or scrawling like me, that would be good for you. Especially don't have handwriting like your Uncle Alex. The letters I have from him could be impressionist artwork.
You helped plant the tomato seeds this month, and we've got little tomato plants sprouting. Grandma and Grandpa Thorne sent a bunch of flower seeds for Easter, and those have started to sprout as well. I wish we knew we were going to have a new house and new yard to plant them in, but they might just have to live as container plants. I would plant them in the flower bed in front of the house now, but I doubt they would survive there, since that is less a place for flowers than it is for you and Miriam getting wet and muddy. I try to limit that to days when it's already bath night, but you both just gravitate there and you'll play happily for an hour at a time, so it's hard to justify not letting you do it. Besides, you're cute when you're covered in mud.
Love,
Mom
