Our morning in the backyard


Brody's favorite thing in the world is being outside. He doesn't care what the temperature is or if it is really bright or dark outside. Brody loves being in the backyard. This morning Brody ran through the doorway with a huge grin on his face. He wandered around the yard for a little while smiling, just happy to be out in the open, like at any moment he was about to say "What a beautiful day it is".


There were a few toys scattered that he played with but since I think he hasn't really decided whether he wants to throw or kick a ball he got bored with that pretty quick. He also just wandered a lot and at one point spent a few minutes just going back and forth from the cement patio onto the grass. Then he wandered over to where the tether ball was and gazed up at the tall pole and tried to move the ball. I guess he then accepted his short height and moved on. Then it was onto the swing but that didn't last very long because once he sat on the swing he looks out at the yard and realizes there is so much he still needs to do and he doesn't have time to swing.


Brody has lately had a fun time getting in and out of his jogging stroller that we keep on the patio. At first I let him and took some pictures because I thought it would be cute to capture that fun. Then he stood up in the stroller and as I reached to get him out he fell but fortunately I caught him in time that he was able to not have the full force of the fall hit the cement below. But he did get a little scrap and a bump. And then of course that was the end of our morning outside!
