The Big Dig
pamelamyers | April 12, 2011
This weekend we had so much fun with Sam. The weather was nice and she was happy to be outside playing. She is quite the little runner now, getting faster and faster tooling around in our backyard. This is usually all we get to see as she is running away from us looking to get into mischief.
See, mischief. Look at that face. Looks like an “I just got into trouble” face if I ever saw one.
She has a whole bunch of shovels and other assorted garden type toys and Mark recently taught her to dig. She picked it up right away, and now it is one of her favorite things to do. She knows her toys are in the shed, and she will lead you over there to open the door, grabs her shovel, then heads off down the driveway to the front yard. We have allotted her one small area in the corner of the flower bed for digging.
Now if I could only get her to put the dirt she digs back into the flower bed instead of all over the walkway (or herself) that would be great. She is having fun though, so I guess that’s all that matters!
Sam’s gardening prowess is not limited to the flower beds, however. She also is quite adept at re-arranging my flower pot (which, admittedly, is not ready for summer yet.) Maybe Sam will have some planting tips!
Most of this time, Mark was outside with Sam. I was inside doing, well, whatever I was doing. I went out on the porch to say hi and it looked like Sam wanted me to open the porch door so she could come in. Nope. She wanted me to come out! Sam is always dragging someone around by the hand. She loves for you to follow her everywhere.
