With the weather improving and spring fully in bloom, we've been
able to spend more time outside. Timmy is delighted playing on his swing
set, looking at bugs and exploring the woods. I've tried to keep him
out of the stream (with less than stellar results). Odd, Hamlet hates
bathtubs but gravitates towards any other form of water. Maybe if I
threw a few sticks and small frogs in the tub he would hop in without
squawking like a pig being taken to slaughter.
There
is no doubt that being outside makes both of us happier people. Over the
past few days I've logged miles pulling him up and down the street in
his little red wagon. We've seen squirrels, bird nests and of course,
Mr. Bill. There is no doubt he was most excited about seeing Mr. Bill. I love watching the bond form between the two of them. It is different than what he has forged with Robby, but no less strong and just as needed. Both of their faces light up when they see each other. I'm reminded again how very lucky we are to have him in our lives.
With all of miles I've spent pulling Timmy in his wagon, I haven't been worried about adding extra exercise to my routine. It turns out that pulling toddler and toy filled wagon around the neighborhood is a complete full body workout. Maybe I could rent him out and start the next fitness trend?
