Snow, Summersaults, & Artichokes

Austin is so super fun at this age. Tonight it is snowing - hard. And it's the middle of April. Very weird. Austin refused to sit in his high chair tonight. Also weird. So he sat on my lap for most of dinner. I had an artichoke, which I dipped in lemon butter sauce. He also chose to dip his meal in the butter sauce (his crackers, cheese, etc.) After I had pulled off all of the artichoke leaves, the heart remained. I had to eat it with one hand, ice cream cone style, since he was on my lap. Austin wanted some too so we sat and ate a yummy artichoke heart with as much enthusiasum as two people sharing an ice cream cone. (Austin does not actually eat ice cream because it is too cold.) We are two crazy vegetarians.
When it was time for bed he exercised his usual delay tactics, but tonight he was especially creative. Whenever I said it was time for bed he would do a summersault. In a rather urgent manner, like it was a pressing piece of business that had to get done before retiring for the night. We read Baby Signs for Bedtime before bed. He was doing the signs all exaggeratedly and cracking up.
He is so fun! I didn't want to put him to bed.
