New Outside Fun

As I have mentioned we are in the middle of building a playground for Owen. We finished the slide part and when we laid it on the porch, we both knew that until it was up Owen was going to drive his cars and walk on it. Well we were right. This afternoon, we went outside and he immediately ran over to it and announced “slide” and then started to walk back and forth on it. Then grabbed his cars and drove them over the hills.

This is Fun!

“Vrrrrmmmmm”

Over the Hill

Then we were off to explore the new growth in the yard. Owen really likes to collect flowers (weeds) and we have lots of sprouting purple, yellow and white flowers (weeds). Luckily he hasn’t shown interest in picking and destroying the couple daffodils we have. He runs to the flower areas and then points and names the color of flower he wants, then I pick it and hand it to him. His favorite is definitely purple. He was holding so many that he would extend just one finger from his fist to try to squeeze one more flower in.

The Flower Collector

I had to go inside to start making dinner and Owen had no interest in following me so when I went back to check on him he was standing in the garden of weeds. (Soon this will house beautiful flowers.)

He was enjoying just holding his current flowers and talking about the ones on the ground.
