Who knew mowing the lawn could be so fun?

Monday evening (5/7/07), Sean had an appointment with his ENT to check the tubes in his ears, so by the time we grabbed dinner at Red Robin and stopped at the store, it was just after 7 PM by the time we got home for the day. Scott decided to try to get at least half the lawn cut before we put Sean to bed, so I took Sean to the backyard to play on his swingset. He asked for his lawnmower, so we retrieved it from the garage. I told him that he could cut the backyard while daddy cut the front. He wanted to see daddy, but I wanted him to stay out of the way, so I kept him in the back. He was pretty excited when daddy made a pass through the side yard, and we could see him from the back. He began yelling “Hi Daddy, Hi Daddy”, but over the noise of the mower, Scott couldn’t hear him. When he made the next pass, I told him to wave to maybe daddy could see him. He waved excitedly and yelled even louder, “Hi Daddy”, Scott waved, and as he headed back toward the front yard, Sean yelled “Daddy, I cut grass too!”. He is just so darn cute sometimes! We eventually headed to the front yard, where he took his mower, and watched daddy for a second, then started walking along the same pattern up and down the yard from the house to the street and back, pushing his mower just a few feet over from daddy. Adorable!
