being cute
the popsicleThe first thing Sean asked me this morning was to ride the tractor. I should have known that with his sharp memory, he wouldn't have forgotten how the rain messed up his tractor ride last night. I told him that he had school today, but could sit on the tractor and that he could ride it when Daddy comes home.
Sean had school today, so he napped pretty quickly when we got home. After his nap, we had our usual afternoon snack and then we headed for the backyard. Already in mid-May it is extremely hot which makes it pretty miserable outside unless you are in water. So when Sean started to get red faced, I got out the worm sprinkler. He didn't want to run through it today, but instead enjoyed sitting in the middle of it and taking one of the worm "arms" and spraying it himself. Since we were still hot, I got some popsicles. We both chose red. I had no idea that the popsicle juice stains. Sean's hands were dark red and so were my knees and arms (thank you, Sean :)). It was so relaxing to sit back in the patio chair that I didn't notice Sean grab his Moon Sand. He thought it would be fun to dump it on his head, shovel it into his bathing suit and pour it all over his body. Now, I had a little boy covered in red popsicle and white sand! He had fun, which made the scrub down bath he had worth it.
During the sand pouring, Sean noticed a familiar sound, a tractor!! We went to the front yard and he sat on my lap as we watched a tractor spread some dirt where a new house is going to be built. Sean loved it. He waved to the construction worker and then to my surprise, gave him the thumbs up sign!! It was so cute! He asked if he could help and I told him that when he gets bigger, he can help. He told me, "I need to be big and strong to work the tractor".
After his bath, Kenny came home and Sean couldn't wait to tell his Daddy about the tractor!!
