The Great Outdoors

Today was a beautiful day outside!! Sean had school today and I was hoping that they would spent a lot of time outside, which they did. On the way, Sean told me that he wants to ride a school bus. I explained to him that his school doesn't have one, but that when he is bigger, he can ride one. This afternoon, he stood up on his tip toes and said, "when I get this big, I can ride the bus, mommy". He wants to grow up so fast.

After his nap, we went outside to enjoy the cool weather. He rode his big boy bike and he is great at doing this now! Then, still on his quest to pet a bird, he sat down in the road and put his palms up and said, "mommy, I'm going to catch a bird". He wound up crying when I told him that most birds don't like to be held because it is so much fun for them to fly. He's determined to pet a bird. He got to hold a baby chick at a petting zoo and since then, has been fascinated with birds.

After dinner, we played in the backyard and then went out front where Sean saw Cameron. Cameron is our newly turned 5 yr old neighbor across the street. I wish that I had brought my camera, but it's a good thing that I probably didn't since Cameron was in a shirt and his undies!! Sean was so cute, calling out "hey, Cameron" and running over to play with him. They both got their shovels out and began digging and filling buckets with dirt. Afterwards, they were both covered in orange clay (the dirt over here) and we went home and hosed off.

Sean had the best time today!!
