Play Time

We get home from an outing, pull in to the garage, unbuckle the carseat and then - bam. I struggle with Andrew to get him in the door. Our garage is detached from our house so we have to walk across the patio to get inside.



And the patio is filled with toys - wagon! watering can! bubble mower! empty water table! flower pots filled with dirt!



Before I unbuckle him I tell him all about how we're going to go straight inside and do _________ (play with Elmo, watch Gabba, find the dog, say "hi" to Daddy.)



But it's still hard for him.



Last Sunday after church I was starving and ready to go inside and eat but he went straight to his wagon and I just couldn't resist grabbing my camera.



He looked so darling! And the weather was perfect.





Yeah, the whole parenting with consistency thing is pretty hard.



But he was so happy playing out there for a little bit, and I would have been sad if I'd missed out on these cute pictures.



He had so much fun, and lunch was still hot when we were finally ready to sit down and eat.
