Wacky Weather Wednesday

To say our weather has been beautiful lately is very much accurate. To say it’s been temperamental lately is also very much accurate! I’ve been told this is very typical for this area this time of year. This morning it was rainy, gave way to beautiful sunshine and 70+ weather until just before lunch, then it became very windy and dropped 10 degrees with thundershowers within an hour!
We did get outside after doing our chores this morning – to hang laundry and to play! Sweet Pea thoroughly enjoyed the sheets hanging on the laundry line. This is only the second time this year I’ve been able to hang out our laundry, the other being just yesterday with only short items hanging up. He quickly became enthralled with the blowing sheets and tried to catch them. It was so entertaining watching him figure out they wouldn’t always be in the same place every moment! The squeals of delight when he caught them were too precious!

Another surprising moment was when Cutie Pie almost happily said goodbye to a neighbor boy who he had been playing with in our ‘gravel pit’, grabbed his wagon and started touring the yard ‘helping’ by picking up every stick he saw, all without being asked! Do you like the way he’s wearing his hard hat? Safety first!

 

The other day he had been overjoyed to help me weed and all throughout the winter he was always so happy to help with his toy shovel. Lately, he’s also been very responsive when getting into mischief when we distract him by asking him to help with something. I am very much enjoying this personality trait (even though I know it is probably really a phase he is going through) and just don’t want it to end! I wonder what he will take upon himself to help me with tomorrow? At any rate, I heap on the praise and encouragement and love seeing the joy reflected on his face!
