Today was a good day. For Jason, it was a great day. Jason has been obsessed with mowing. He mows his carpet in his room with a laundry basket pushing it back and forth. He mows the lawn with his Fisher-Price popper. He mows the kitchen linoleum with a broom. Well, you've got the idea. On Monday, another twin mom was selling 2 push tricycles, similar to big wheels but with handles so Mom/Dad can push a non-pedaling toddler. Anyway, in finalizing the deal on the 2 trikes, I asked the woman if she had a mower she'd like to part with. And, she did.
Tonight we brought home the push trikes and the mower. The trikes were promptly ignored and the mower became the focus of a big-time tussle. Jason grabbed the mower and off he went. What a happy little boy! Kevin grabbed the mower handle and a tussle ensued.
Eventually, Kevin and I went inside and played a game together while Jason and Joe mowed the lawn. For Kevin, out of sight is truly out of mind. What a blessing as Jason never forgets a thing. He still talks about the fireworks that he saw on New Year's Eve. He talks about the decorations from Christmas. He tells me stories from tv shows that he's seen one time, a long time ago. Kevin had a grand time inside playing with me while Jason was living the dream outside with Daddy.
No pix of the trikes or mower today. Check back again later and check out these photos of us "gardening".
On a non-Kicky or Jumpy note, we're thinking of you Poppy.
G'nite,
Kathy
