Fall Fun

Yesterday Tyler and I helped rake up the leaves in Grammy and Grampy's yard. They certainly didn't have any kind of shortage of leaves this year, there were tons! When Tyler saw Mommy use the rake, he wanted to use the rake as well. So we ended up giving him a special "rake". This special rake was actually a broom, but it did the trick and most importantly made my little guy happy that he was helping his mum.

After awhile though, Tyler caught on that if you just pick up the leaves in your hand and take them to the pile, it was much faster and more fun.

Once we got a big pile of leaves, we put Tyler on top and watched him have some fun.

One time he laid down in the leaves and it looked like he was swimming in them. He had his legs kicking and arms going and he went from one end of the pile to the other!

Then I guess he saw that Mommy didn't have enough leaves on her, so he came over with piles of leaves in each hand and put them on my head! He went back and forth until Mommy was good and covered.

After we decided we had enough fun with the leaves, it was time to get back to work. Tyler saw Mommy put the leaves in the compost bin and started to do the same. What a good little helper!
