Tractors

Just one last Bend blog. Tyler has always loved to sit on Grandpa's tractors and loves all things John Deere. I had this great idea to do a blog that showed a picture of him sitting on the tractor for each of the last three years. It would have been fun to see him grow/age in the pictures. Unfortunately it seems that the last two years, it was my mom taking the pictures while I stood by the tractor (ready to catch Ty should he suddenly decide he was done). So I don't have any previous years on my computer. But I do have this year. It was actually fun to watch Tyler on the tractor this year. He went out almost everyday our last week there. He would get up on the tractor and pretend to do chores and things that Grandpa does.....drive down the driveway, cut the hay, bale the hay, and haul the compressor around. You could see in his eyes, the world he'd created as he moved the steering wheel and pretended to hook things up.

Future Tractor Driver

Not wanting to be left out, Hailey decided tractors were pretty neat too. Tyler was protective of his big tractor but Hailey was satisfied on the riding lawn mower. She was even saying tractor by the time we left Bend.....if you listened close enough. She also learned that if you lay your forehead right down on foot stand, you can get your face really dirty. Typical of her right now, her favorite thing to do was to get on and off, on and off, on and off.......... It's the same with stairs she wants to go up and down over and over and over again.

Hey, this is just my size

On an entirely different topic, this how Tyler slept in the pack and play while we were in Bend. He always has to sleep with ALL of his pillows and his face completely smothered. Looks comfy huh??

Love of small places
