A few cool days!







We have tried to take advantage of a welcomed reprieve from the summer heat and humidity by spending a great deal of time outside yesterday and today! I finally set up the swing that we've had all summer (but have never used) and Zach likes to be swinging for 45 minutes at a time! (That is no exaggeration!) I quickly lose interest in swinging but I'm amazed at how long he will stay with one task.


We also recently got an old watering can from my grandmother and Zach has been interested in how this device works. After a few moments of exploring the water coming out of the can's mouth he usually decides that he prefers the hose that has a constant supply of water instead.


Also a new favorite activity is picking the not-quite-ripened tomatoes and either throwing them or carrying them around like little treasures. I have been teaching Zach "no touch" for a few items (the tomato plants being one of them) so now he approaches the plant shaking his head saying, "no touch" as he then picks tomatoes off of the plant! Ugh!
