After what seems like weeks of rain, we finally have good sunshine and warm temperatures again. The last few days, the boys and I have gotten in lots of long stroller rides, walking all the way over to the new subdivision that will eventually connect with ours (about an hour round trip strolling). Today the little guys even fell asleep, as we were later in getting out than normal (today is the day Mommy cleans the floor, you know).
But with the sunshine comes another step, or I guess a different one. There were no jackets today, though our boys are still in long pants and sleeves with their sniffles. No, today we added sunscreen to our pre-walk ritual that also includes potty break, clean diapers and finding all the misplaced socks so we can put on shoes (though this one doesn't always happen).
The kids were not particularly excited to see the sunscreen come out today, but with the bright sun and their fair winter skin, it wasn't an option. The little guys squirmed and ran away as fast as they could. Connor, on the other hand, was the only one of the three who was excited to see it. He immediately took of his shirt and said, "Pool? Swimmin'?"
Um, no, not quite yet. But clearly, my son is as ready for summer time as I am.
