Erik discovers mud!

The neighbor boys came over this morning to help me water the flowers. As I was showing them how to work the nozzle, Erik found that dirt + water = mud! First he was just squishing it with his hands. Then, while I was monitoring the watering he tried eating some. Despite not liking it, he kept trying. If only he had been that experimental with green beans!

Erik began saying, "mama" a couple weeks ago. Love that. Last weekend he started to nod, just a tiny nod. Yesterday I think I saw him shake his head. He's been saying, "yeah" for months, but we have yet to get a "no" out of him. It would be fine with me if he shook his head instead!
