Little helper

John Dickson has not been taking it easy on his time off from school! He has been helping Daddy with the flooring and Grammy with her yard... so busy!

I was so proud of John Dickson today! We have been trying so hard to get John Dickson to eat healthy and to like a wide variety of food. We went to Moe's today for lunch, and John Dickson shared my lunch... he ate rice, cheese, guacamole, salsa, chicken, black beans, olives, bell peppers, mushrooms... and if I wouldn't shovel it in fast enough, he would lean forward with his mouth wide open like a starving little bird. Since he turned one, he has grown up so much! He has started eating anything and everything in sight... as his teacher at daycare would say, he'll eat anything that wouldn't eat him first! He has also been playing with his toys in a whole new way. He's very deliberate in what he does with them, and you can literally see him thinking while he plays. He also has decided that crawling is for babies, and he's a big kid now. Crawling is almost officially a thing of the past. If he doesn't want to walk, he will sit, cry and hold his arms out... so pitiful. We spent the past few days in Columbia with his Grammy, his Aunt Lauren and his Uncle Jarey, and he had a blast! I'll post the pictures from his adventures in Columbia soon.

On a very exciting note, the daycare right by our house has an opening now for John Dickson! All we know is that it is much closer, much cheaper, and our neighbors use it and love it... so I'm going to take a tour on Monday and am hoping that we will love it too! Keeping our fingers crossed...

That's about it for now. Easter sunrise service comes early! P.S. John Dickson may be a year old, but this is actually his first Easter. He's pretty excited!
