Jack LOVES to be outside. He doesn't care what he's doing as long as he is outside enjoying nature. So, since he loves to be outside and I had some gardening to do, I thought it would be fun for him to "help" me pull up my summer caladiums and fall mums and plant my winter pansies! He loved digging in the dirt and actually held the shovel correctly. Then, he gathered some sticks and used those to dig in my pots. We are working on gentle hands with the flowers...I think we have a long road ahead!
We've had the best time exploring our yard and our neighbors' yards this fall. Jack loves to collect acorns and rocks and crams as many in his hands as his little fingers can grasp. He loves to pick up sticks and wander around the yard. We look at birds, flowers, trees, and anything else we can find.
It's a great day when we see a dog walking by as he has a new love for dogs. He gets so excited when he sees one and squeals "DAW, DAW!" Just precious to hear the excitement in his voice!
