We started off the month going strawberry picking. We thought as much as Carli loves strawberries, she would really like to pick them. When we got there, Carli helped for a bit. She would only pick them when one of us pointed them out. She liked carrying the bucket more than picking them off the bush. (May 2)

And she's outta there!
Next up was a quick trip to school to see the chicks that hatched in Ms. Mabe's classroom. Carli really thought they were cute. (May 3)

She looks so big in this picture!
That weekend brought the Spring Folly to town. Carli liked walking around and seeing all the people and events. She thought the fire truck was cute. She wanted to ride the train...
...until the train took off from the "station" without Mommy! They had to stop the train to get her off.
But a quick stop at Cake and All Things Yummy made it all better!
We did a short trial at potty training. After three times with Carli getting upset a bit each time, we decided to wait a bit and try again.
Funny what toddlers can learn if they want. When my brother was here just two weeks ago, every animal said "meow". Now she can tell you a dog, duck, chicken, cow, pig (sometimes), and yesterday learned that a rooster says "cock-a-doodle-doo." She even knows that strange sound that a deer makes when it is running away. Austin taught her that one.
The month ended with a family cookout to celebrate Austin's upcoming graduation.
PHEW...what a busy month!
