Prettypretty day on Monday for a picnic. Our ward planned a picnic with potluck desert for the afternoon. There were waterballoons (haha... Nate was a favorite target)and football and lots of playmates for Desi. When we first arrived he spotted a tricycle and sat on it immediately, Nate tried to instruct him on feet placement, still working. We then laid out our blanket and tried to eat our sandwiches, Desi ended up marching all over most of them. He got away from us acoupla times and marched through a private picnic near ours, stomped right across their blanket. Most embarrasing... I sent Nate to fetch him. Our contribution was a watermelon (of course!!) I eagerly cut into it, burrying my face into the yummyyummyyummyness of slice after slice. After polishing off a few, I noticed Desi was keeping up with me rather well and had a red stained face that probably mirrored mine -- he takes after me! Des did a bit of climbing on some nearby rocks, totally fearless , scuffing his knees (he was wearing shorts) didn't seem to slow him down at all. We stayed and played and ate and talked for 3hours. Des had failed to take his nap that afternoon and was doing remarkably well. We got home and he proceeded to dance and be silly... it's so nice being three!! He bedded down an hour early...ahhh... sweet sleep!
