What we will be doing all summer

Tyler absolutely LOVES to be outside!! He loves swinging; playing with the grass and in the dirt; making the wind chimes ring; hitting the tennis ball that is hanging from the ceiling in our garage (to mark where we are supposed to park); sitting in his chair; listening to all the sounds (birds, cars, wind, etc.); watching Bonnie and Russ play ball; taking Bonnie out to go potty...just to name a few!!  He is honestly pretty content with just being carried around or even with sitting in your lap...as long as he is outside.

At first he used to just get excited when we opened the door to go out by smiling and waving his arms and kicking his legs. Now, he will all out pitch a fit if he wants to go outside! It is funny, but it will probably get old real quick...especially when he doesn't get his way. What a mess!!

Since I stayed home yesterday and worked outside most of the day, Tyler was not happy to be playing inside with Granna. At first, he would just watch me from the closed storm door, laugh and beat on the glass when I looked up at him. But that only lasted so long. So, before his afternoon nap, we blew up a baby pool, put it in the garage where it was shaded, threw in some sand toys and stripped him down to his birthday suit to play. He was in heaven, combining water and outside...his 2 favorite things!! He would've stayed there all day, I think. I bet this will become our new summer habit. And that is fine by me!
