Our Outdoor Helper

We worked outside for a long time today, and Nolan was a super helper! He helped shovel up the whirly birds from the driveway. He used his watering can to water the flowers and give himself a shower in his clothes. He shoveled more whirly birds and helped mow the lawn.
He took us on an imaginary trip!
He had fun pushing his cart.
He had the greatest time outside!
We have had a few ants here and there near our front windows. Nolan squats down and lets Mommy know when he sees the ants. He gets very excited. After his nap, Nolan was looking under Daddy's record player shelf for a long time.
He kept looking...
and looking...
and looking...
He would not leave the area.
Finally, Mommy pulled the record player stand away from the wall (with Nolan's assistance) to see LOTS of ants attached to a fruit loop and a piece of a granola bar left on the ground by a certain someone in our house...someone who is 32 pounds of love!
Nolan knew just what to do...go and get the Shark! Those ants were gone in no time! Mommy and Nolan had a discussion about not dropping food on the floor, especially under shelves while Mommy is not looking. We want our ants to go away once and for all!
Nolan and Mommy ran to Jewel in the early evening. Nolan helped unpack the groceries. He helped stack the pop and orange juice.
He stacked and unstacked the orange juice at least ten times.
He is so strong and LOVES to help!
He tried to pick up both orange juice cartons at the same time...he is an iron man in training!
