Spring has Sprung

Spring has sprung, and Emily is turning out to be quite the flower child. She loves them... flowers that is. Our yard is happily sprouting daffodils, periwinkle, other small bulbs whose name escape me, and now... magnolia flowers. Every day we pick a few, so we've assembled quite a bouquet at this point.

One of my favorite little things is how she loves to smell any flower... even if it isn't particularly fragrant... she knows flowers are a thing to be smelled, but instead of sniffing, she blows out through her nose. We'll be 10 ft away from a flower bed and she'll be puffing away. It's all I can do not to laugh. I just sniff while she blows hoping she'll catch on that there's a "different" way to smell flowers.

Yay spring!
