Spring Has Arrived!

Annikan is loving the outdoors. Last year he was still too small to enjoy the sun. This year, however, is going to be quite different. He doesn't want to come in at all. He would rather be outside all the time. We have to fight him to come in, usually bribe him, in order to eat dinner or go to bed. He doesn't understand when I say it's too cold, or raining.....He wants to go anyway. He used his sidewalk chalk for the first time and loved it. He mostly likes to watch me color and to carry around his chalk getting himself covered in the stuff (blue chalk stains clothes by the way). The other day he had blue on one of his eyelids and it reminded me of Granny. He wouldn't set still for a photo, unfortunately because that would have been a good one.
He does smile when we ask him to, briefly, as you can see in the above photo. He is becoming more and more independent, and rotten.
