Spring has finally come

We have been enjoying nice warm weather (finally) in Ottawa. the kids have been in shorts and sandals for about a week now, and the snow piles are all but disappeared. We thought it was great to see Jason on the snowbanks in his sandals. For the most part, we have been trying to keep to a 2 park-per-day regimen when we aren't working. We have also been playing soccer - they both have cleats (matching), which is cute. Last night Keira had a pink dress on with ehr cleats. Very cool. Jason has made leaps and bounds in terms of his coordination. I am amazed at his accuracy when he kicks and he has picked up some fancy moves from HG. He also really loves playing with worms, which is new, while Keira actually squeals. Keira's talking is really coming along. She had some versions of 3-word sentences for a while, but has really started to get them together like "Jason squished me." this morning they were lying in bed reading and Jason said "fart" and Keira said "me farted?" and Jason said that it was him. I thought it was great that Keira can accurately use "fart" at 25 months.
