Ike, meet the sidewalk.

Ike has entered a whole new world the past couple of days. He's never walked on grass before this week because since he's been walking it's always been covered in snow or too wet and muddy. And now the kid just can't get enough. He begs to get outside. He screams and points to the grass when I carry him to the car. And when I put him down he topples and trips and flips and tips over incessantly- but he loves it nonetheless. Unfortunately he has also come to know the sidewalk quite well. He just can't quite seem to manage the space where sidewalk and grass meet. Even if there's no real height difference and no step- never fail, EVERY time he takes the step from grass to sidewalk or sidewalk to grass- he totally face plants it.

The pictures don't do his face justice. It's pretty sad. I have a feeling it's going to be like this for a few weeks while he gets his "grass legs".

Even Zeb has had a few problems. He's not used to wearing shorts so when he does trip it seems to hurt a lot more and there are more tears.

All in all I think that both kiddos are beyond ecstatic about the warm weather. I am happy.  I hope we don't get hot too fast, though. I need a few months of 50-70 degree weather before the 80s and 90s show up!!
