You can't even imagine how excited Jake was when one of the gardeners allowed him to mow alongside him. If only I had it on video.....they were walking side by side up....then back....then up....then back. It was so sweet of the guy to let Jake tag along.....however, Jake REALLY thinks that he is "one of the guys" now. He wanted to help ALL of them and do EVERYTHING. He kept telling me "mommy, I have to go outside....the guys need my help"....then, he started heading over to their pickup truck and said, "I'm just gonna go and get a blower out of there". I assured him that his toy blower would work just fine. Needless to say, I spent an hour and a half making sure that he didn't get in the way too much.....I'm hoping his memory fades a little by the time the gardeners come again next week, but I have a feeling he'll let me know RIGHT when his new work crew has arrived. Maybe now that the warmer weather is approaching, I can convince him that being the "lemonade guy" would be just as helpful ;)
She's really not a baby anymore.....10 months old already (and yes, I do realize that I say that every month). She is at SUCH a fun age! The happiest girl.....she smiles all the time, giggles when you tickle or play with her, chats up a storm, waves hello and goodbye, claps her hands, and too many other things to list! She is starting to nap better and still ADORES her big brother. Time is going to by too quickly!
