This afternoon on our walk though town, Emmett got to meet Dr. Boschert who owns the office with the small steps in front that Emmett likes to sit on and take a break when we walk.
Dr. Boschert, who was locking up his office for the day, brought out a tootsie roll sucker for Emmett. Emmett was a little reluctant at first, but once he got the "go ahead" nod from mom, he decided he really liked the sucker.
To prevent him from falling with it in his mouth, we carried him for the rest of the walk.
After a while we noticed he had sucked the sucker all the way down to the tootsie roll part.
I, for one, have never known anyone to get their sucker all the way to the center without biting it.
Since the weather was above 70*F today, we packed our cooler and headed to the park to bbq some foil packs.
Emmett got to wear a pair of shorts today. When we took his long pants off, and put his shorts on, he just looked down at his legs, as if he was pondering why he was missing the bottom half of his pants.
Once we got to the park, and started the bbq pit, we took some time to walk around and see the squirrels, ducks, deer and flowers. Emmett stopped and looked at the yellow daisies growing in the grass. We told him they were "yellow" and he decided that was his new word for the day. He walked around saying "yellow".
Once our foil packs were done cooking, we sat down to eat. Emmett couldn't wait to have potatoes and ketchup!

Tonight we got out a new gift from our baby showers that we hadn't been able to use yet, LEGOS! Mrs. Hilliard got them as a gift for daddy and the new baby, because she remembered how much Chris and Josh enjoyed LEGOs as alittle ones.
The set we got is a zoo set, camels, elephants, zebras, 2 zoo keepers and much, much more. While daddy made dinner Emmett and mommy played, or Emmett took apart mommy's animals.
