My first Granny Square

For several months now I've been eyeing the beauty of the Granny Square. I. LOVE. THEM.
Years ago we had a very colorful pillow cover at home. I never knew it was made from a Granny Square pattern. I had no idea. Sincerely, back in the day, I didn't really pay much attention to that kind of thing.

I was missing out. Badly.

I'm on the right track now, right?

I saw a video on YouTube and followed a basic pattern from Purl Bee to complete my first Granny Square.
Materials:

I used Baby Soft Worsted Weight yarn in two colors (blue and white)
I hook (5.50 mm)

The pattern basically consists of 4 rounds, using chains (ch) and double crochets (dc). You can choose to alternate the colors, do one color, or different colors.

I foresee several stacks of squares filling up my crocheting desk here soon.

I have two children and both of them are growing up bilingually. I speak to them in Spanish all day, while my husband speaks to them in English and Spanish. We have been checking the weather on a daily basis to know when's the best time to go outside to play with water or to take a family walk. We also check the weather to see the temperature in other states where other family members currently live. Here's a copy of the seasons of the year printable that I made.
