February 17

It's not unusual for Brady to return from brief jaunts bearing fistfuls of dandelions, but today, he found one of the biggest ones I've ever seen.

He was delighted with his full, bright yellow find, and immediately announced that it was for daddy. So we brought it home and put it in a cup of water (with the six blooms that he plucked during yesterday's expedition).

What can I say? I love his giving heart.
