This month Ryder's interest changed from pirates to British soldiers. He noticed the British soldiers in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and then started looking for other videos with them. By the end of the month he had turned his pirate costume into a redcoat costume, including asking me to make him some white uniform pants and rustling up some soldier boots. He has actually made quite an impressive costume between all the parts!
He is still into archery and likes to practice in the basement, but also out in the yard now that it is warmer. Janda built a big freestanding target that they can set up in the yard and practice with. When Ryder starts practicing, any other kids around usually hurry on over to try it out too!
As Spring has arrived, Ryder really likes the garden. We go out an check on the flowers to see if they are blooming yet, as well as the other plants that we have out there. He loves to help in the flower garden and the vegetable garden, and has all kinds of ideas for what we should do and plant!
Easter came this month, so that was a lot of excitement. Now both kids understand the Easter egg hunt, so the Easter bunny assigned them each certain colors of eggs so that it would be more of a fair hunt! Each kid got some treats and little toys and they both got some gardening tools and seeds, which Ryder wanted to plant right away. He was very diligent about watering his seeds and checking on them!
