Daddy’s little helper

May 17th, 2010 · by map · 5 Comments

I was putting in a new flower bed in the front yard yesterday and so had gardening implements all over the place. Emmett, who went from 0-60 in about 5 seconds last week in the walking dept., made a bee line right for my spade. Once there, he propped himself up on it and surveyed the yard like I’d screwed things up royally. Maybe he’s right. At the very least, I’m glad he’s getting used to hefting a shovel; this old man isn’t going to have the back for this work forever.

    This picture just makes me laugh–and Kathryn, if you're reading this, please note that he is sporting the shirt you bought him all those months ago! :) We love it.

    Yay! It looks great on your little gardener :) I forgot what size I bought him…I'm glad you are getting some use out of it!!

    You actually got us two sizes, Kat:0-3 and 6-12, I think.

    You know, it's actually unfair that you have children that are so cute. MAN.

    I know, it's totally unfair. Of course, knowing Leah, you probably could've foreseen this.
