Wearing sun dresses throughout the winter is only one sign of Eila's desire for summer to arrive. This week, we made a thorough search and found her swimsuit so that we are ready when summer finally comes. She picked out a tank top for me to wear and was in tears when I suggested that it might be too cold outside for that shirt (but I'm wearing it now - with a sweater).

With our first warm, sunny day in months, Eila asked for the car windows to be rolled down all the way and enjoyed the wind in her hair. We went on several walks, played in the sandbox, danced in the grass, and listened to the birds.

Eila keeps asking to visit her friends - at the park. We will soon. She is ready for the fun, lazy days of summer to begin!
