Yard Day and a helper

Tobey loves to help. I often call him my little helper. He is also learning valuable things while being a helper. He has learned how to throw his trash away, place his dirty dishes in the sink, and put his dirty clothes in the hamper. These have not become routine yet but he will do them if I ask. Hopefully they will stick and he will continue doing them into his teen years. He also likes to wipe the table and the floor clean because he sees me do that several times a day. We are working on helping Mommy put the toys away but he tends to just pull out as I am putting away. Well, he got to help his Daddy mow the yard for the first time and he was very excited about it. He received a toy lawnmower for his first birthday that I put up because he wasn't walking at the time and then winter came along and I forgot about it. I finally pulled it out and Tobey had so much fun. He was so excited when he realized that he was just like Daddy. I am sure Rodney will appreciate the day when Tobey can really help. While the boys worked on the yard, I had fun playing around with my new camera.


Our beautiful roses. They are really doing well this year.

Such glee on his face


I'm just like Daddy


Okay, time to rest
