Signs of Spring

We've had a lot of (much needed) rain over the past few weeks, and our 5 day forecast calls for 5 more days of rain. However, the little bits of sunshine we get here and there put us all in a great mood, and remind us that spring is just around the corner. Pointing to body parts is endless fun. Vita, where's the monkey's eyes?

We're also starting to see signs of spring outside, even in our extremely neglected yard. The daffodils are blooming, the apricot tree is just starting to bud and blossom, and the jasmine is exploding! Vita loves smelling the jasmine and getting tickled by the leaves.
On clear days, we ALWAYS head out to the park, where Vita runs around like a maniac, swings, plays in the sandbox, and goes down the slide (with assistance).
On rainy days when we can't go to the park, Vita gets a little bit stir crazy. That's when Vita and dad built forts. Beware of the gremlin that lurks in the cave. Her beady red eyes see all.
This picture is included because it's a quintessential Vita shot. What is she doing? Where is she going? Is that a cheerio under the couch?
