"Daddy mow!"

Well, the long awaited day finally arrived! Jeremiah has been waiting for what seems like FOREVER for this (okay, maybe it has just been all winter, which really was pretty short this year... but still. To a 2 year old, it was forever!).

Since the weather has been so nice, Jeremiah has been LOVING the outdoors (see previous post about playing outside!). This weekend was an exciting weekend for 2 reasons-- first, Grandma and Grandpa Wissink came down and on Saturday we went and picked out a sandbox! Needless to say, Jeremiah LOVES it and would spend the entire day in it if we let him. Mommy is going to have to get used to sandy feet in the house, I think.

He got to play in it last evening, and then his very first words on the way home from church were, "Play sandboxes!" He went down for his afternoon nap with the promise that we could "play sandboxes" again after nap!

And reason #2-- Daddy mowed the lawn for the first time! And it was time, with our warm weather and the rain last week things are definitely green and growing around here. I love that! As much as I hate winter, I do believe that it gives you such an appreciation for spring! :) Jeremiah was SO excited when Daddy got the mower out today-- he usually supervises from the front step while Daddy does the front yard. Here's a video of J's reaction to the mower starting up! :)

Then, in the backyard he decided to supervise from the sandbox.


We have one happy boy on our hands! :)
