Butterflies!

Mom and Dad took me to see the butterflies at the Meijer Gardens today! I was so excited! First we walked through rooms full of bright pretty flowers that smelled so good. I kept my eyes wide open and looked at all of it. Then we went into a warm forest where the butterflies fluttered all around me. One even landed on my toes for a second or two. I loved it! I sat in my stroller while Mom rolled me around and the butterflies were all around me. I got to sit on the bench for a little while to get a better view. Wow! I giggled and babbled as loud as I could. I saw a Clearwing and a big blue one Dad said is a Common Morpho. There is even one called the Sara Longwing! It's black with blue on its wings and white stripes on the tips. How fun! There were a lot of people there to smile at and talk to, even some we knew! We saw Mom's Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Neal there with their family. How nice to say hi!
Then we went back out into the cold snowy outside. We went to see Aunt Ellen and Uncle Nate so Dad could borrow the air nail gun to finish the bathroom trim. Ally and I didn't get to see each other because we were both napping. I needed a little quiet after all my excitement. Now that we're home, Dad has finished the whole room and we are just waiting to get the washer and dryer! Mom can't wait because I've made a lot of dirty clothes in the last few days, with my drool and oatmeal.
I had my bath just now, and I love to splash! The water gets all over Mommy, but she doesn't seem to care. She laughs and splashes with me. Now I'm tired and Daddy is going to put me in my crib a little early. I didn't take very long naps today, so I need to catch up. Good naps to all!
