Every spring I love to go with friends to the Como Conservatory to see all the spring flowers. It just feels so warm and summery there. The kids love it too. Here are some photos of Alex with the flowers.

Sneaky Alex
Alex can be kind of sneaky, and sometimes he steals things (from our house, not stores) like chocolate, snacks, balloons, bandaids, and whatever else he really wants. We're working on correcting this behavior.
Last week, Alex was acting REALLY tired all week. He was asking to be carried a lot, which isn't normal. He also begged to go to sleep without a bedtime snack or stories two nights in a row. He has never in his life asked to go to bed.
I thought he was just really overtired from vacation and probably having another growth spurt. Then Cory discovered an empty package of Children's Benadryl in Alex's favorite hiding place in our house. Yes. Alex had been drugging himself. The medicine in benadryl is the same stuff they put in Tylenol PM to make people drowsy. We had purchased the benadryl in Florida because Molly got a rash and has sunscreen allergies. Molly had been given 6 of the 18 tablets in the pack, so during the week Alex had eaten 12 of them. I'm thankful they were only Benadryl and not something that could have really harmed him!
