For Mother's Day, my sweet husband created a mug for me with all of Dylan's cute sayings on it. There was chocolate too, but the mug was the star of the day. I was so touched to get a present with so much meaning to me. It makes me smile every time I use it for a cup of tea. And I will treasure it for years to come...it captures my little person the way he is right now.
After drinking some chai and eating breakfast (and chocolate) we loaded up the backpack and went for a hike at The Narrows Nature Reserve. It was such a beautiful day and I just wanted to get outside and do something. I use the word "hike" very loosely. When you go hiking with a 2 and 1/2 year old like mine, it's much more of a meander through the forest. Dylan likes to stop and watch the ants crawling on a log. And if there is a stick, it has to be stuck into the ground or mud or water. And if there's water it must be splashed in. And if there is a tree we have to "climb" it. I love my little explorer!

Dylan's second favorite thing, a stick and some mud.(I think water comes in at first on his favorite things list).
"Climbing" a tree with Daddy's help.
Oh yeah, water and a stick, doesn't get much better than this.
It's all fun and games until mommy and daddy say it's time to tell the water bye bye. But, after getting away from the water and distracting him with a snack, things got better quickly.
Dylan loves strawberries. And isn't he the cutest sitting on a log in the forest?
After our hike, we headed to Noodles for lunch and home for a nap. But, alas, Dylan decided he was NOT going to take a nap, which was surprising after all of that activity. So, we spent the rest of the day quietly at home and had an early bedtime. It was a lovely day (for the most part) and I enjoyed spending time with both of my guys.
