a SWEET helper

The landscape project is almost done. But for the last couple weeks Blue and I have literally gone to some sort of garden or home improvement store everyday. One place will be sold out, or have the wrong size in stock and so we have to try a different store the next day. He is a really sweet and easy errand companion though. Usually he runs around by my side, holding my hand on occasion. But this particular visit he really liked riding around on the cart.

See the little horse he is carrying? He rarely does anything without some little toy in his right hand. Most of the time it is a car or a truck, but his animals are a close favorite. If he is outside, then it is probably a little hand trowel. Which we call a shovel and he calls a "vel".

Pictures of the yard to come soon!

a BRIEF pause

Lucy got a new bed. Blue likes to steal it for himself... Look at that belly!

a TEXAS toddler

It's Bluebonnet time in Texas. Last year was not a good year for the state flower and we ended up in a tiny little patch at the Wildflower Center. This year they are all over the highway medians and anywhere else someone has scattered the seeds. Unfortunately, highway medians are not the easiest place to stop and photograph a kid but we found this mini-field near the Davis's place in Wimberley and decided to give it a go.

Dad sat him down in the middle of the field and he wasn't too sure at first. But he quickly recovered and had a good time running around. I asked him to sit in the grass and smile at me - and he did, for two seconds, and then was off again. Blue is now 17 months and as such officially qualifies as a toddler in the state of Texas. His best new trick - when you ask him his name, he will say Blue!
