Puddle All Gone

Luke has mastered essentially two signs, one for more which also equals "yes" and "please" and the other for open which also equals "all gone." It kind of comes as a shrug...very cute.

He also has a new love in puddles. After the late week rains here, everywhere we went, he was pointing and grunting longingly for each puddle we passed. Lucky for him, the puddle at the end of the driveway was still there when he got to play outside on Saturday. He ran right to it, and stomped in it for a good 10 minutes (leading to some very cute video which I'll edit and try and post soon). Happy as a lark!

Imagine his disappointment when by Sunday, the puddle was gone, and despite going to several of the other driveways to find out if it had appeared there instead, he kept making the "all gone" sign. I think that I may have to get creative with the hose and reinstate the puddle from time to time for him this summer, at least after I've gotten his shoes off!

Wow, Luke will love those warm summer showers when he can play in the backyard in his swimming suit. Who needs a pool? :)
