There are cars to drive.
Play dough to check out.
Grandma sent a miniature garden to Zack. Conveniently, it came on a lovely afternoon, so we took it outside. He filled a dish with water from the hose to moisten the dirt cakes. 
I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of wet afternoons this summer. 
He scooped the dirt from the dish into the pot, then put the seeds in, covered them with more dirt and tamped the dirt down. We're happy to report that the seeds have sprouted and there are little sunflowers growing in the dining room.
At least for as long as Mom remembers to water them. Ahem.
There is much other gardening to do, as well. He loves getting his shovels out after we get home in the afternoon. He's old enough now that I can get some gardening done while he goes about his business. He's even started handing me my gardening gloves when he gets his shovels. There might be hope for a decently tended flowerbed this summer!
Speaking of which, I wish I could send this gorgeous smell over the internet to you. Our neighbor's lilac bush continues to creep over onto our property, and the cold winter seems to have done it lots of good. There's a bumper crop of blooms that have lasted and lasted--I think it's been about 3 weeks now.
There is sushi to eat. Bet you didn't realize that eating sushi was such a full body experience!
He has also rediscovered his duck, which sings the Chicken Dance. He now flaps his arms along with the duck, which is pretty darned cute!

Maybe I can hire Zack to help me with my gardening. So much to do. Our lilacs are just opening, a good 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I'm picking some and filling my house with that wonderful scent. I never could do that while Nita was around. She was terribly allergic,
