You have truly come out of your shell. You've always been a little quiet around new people, but that has all changed. Whether it is grammie and poppy coming to visit, couchsurfers, or strangers we run into at the park you embrace playing and talking with new people. It has been so much fun watching your confidence build and blossom. All this is fitting seeing as how it's spring and all the daffodils are blooming as well. You've made some great friends at school and look forward to getting there in the mornings and look forward to playing on the playground after school. Spring is finally here and you could not be more pleased. You've been waiting to get outside with bare legs and run to every destination. Of course you always have time to stop and smell the flowers and spent a lot of time planting them at the garden this last weekend. We're also waiting on your praying mantises to hatch so we can take them to the garden and set them free. One more thing that is worth mentioning is that you entered a drawing of your favorite animal into the Turtle Magazine cover contest. Your drawing that showed a mama and baby elephant surrounded by bales of hay made it into the issue with your picture and you were so proud and were we!
