The Field

Now that we're having warmer weather (as in 90 degrees already!), Daniel takes his trike out almost everyday. He rides all the way down to the end of the road, where it dead-ends into a field. Then he parks it, gets off, and starts tromping through the field. The routine lately has been to find a good spot with a lot of dirt and lay down in it. He lies on his tummy and just feels all that nice warm sand all over him, and he's in heaven. He could stay out there for hours, and sometimes, he does. He collects leaves and twigs, pretends to plant gardens or build houses, and runs around being free. He loves to be outside!

On a side note - we had our first "peeing outside" adventure when we were in the field the other day. And it was me, not David, that had to do the teaching. Yikes! We were so far from the house, and he really had to go, and though he's getting better about holding it, he's not perfect. I suggested peeing outside, and he said, "Like a dog?" Yep, just like a dog. We both learned a little bit. I was a little nervous that it might get all over his pants, but apparently, there's quite an arch on that spray! Who knew? He did pretty good and was amazed at the puddle he made. I'm hoping David gets the next one.
