Look what Poppa brought home today? A wooden rocking horse just Oscar's size. Momma named the horse Nellie, and you can hear Oz laugh with delight whenever he climbs on. Of course, we had to teach him to say, "Whoa Nellie!" He thinks it's hilarious so of course, we all laugh whenever he says it. He adores his Poppa and looks all around the house for him when he leaves for work. Suzy and I don't exist whenever Poppa is home.
The Lilacs are blooming now, and Oscar likes to feel them and smell them. I can't blame him; I love to smell them too. There is a big bush of them alongside the building at the mission. So, we are stopping to smell the flowers now that spring is here.
How do you entertain a wild boy at the grocery store when it's almost bedtime? Let him smell the flowers. Oscar is doing the sniff test on some yellow flowers. He crinkles up his nose and is so cute when he smells. (Not that I'm at all biased in any way.)
Off for more adventures in the land of Oz today.
Hope your day is full of laughter and amazement that only children can bring.
