Mowing!
To celebrate George's 17 month birthday he got a haircut and a bubble mower. He was so good getting his hair cut and didn't fuss a bit. It helps that I take him to the kiddie place with cars to drive, movies to watch, and toys with which to play. At one point he had a toy mirror in his hands and I asked him "George, who's in the mirror?" He looked and said, "Bay-bee!" So very precious!
After the haircut we ran into Toys 'R Us to get George's seventeen month birthday present - a bubble mower. I put it together during nap time and then after he woke and had a snack we headed out to explore the backyard. With the abundance of fire ants, snakes, poisonous spiders, and too close spying neighbors in our vicinity, I have to admit I don't spend much time in the backyard. But George and I had a great time out there today. He explored the entire yard while "mowing", and even though he couldn't quite figure out how to get the mower to make bubbles (it requires more force than he was applying) he still liked it.
I also pulled out a giant container of bubbles to blow, which fascinated him. He's in to dipping things, so of course he had to have a bubble wand all to himself. He even started to blow at the wand instead of trying to eat it. Progress!
