grass

We've got a pretty big backyard for in town and now that we have grass,

granted it's still slightly patchy,

we have to mow it.

We think Liam is old enough to learn how to do this.

So Friday came along and this is how it looked.

Father teaching son...

Son trying so hard to mow a straight line...

Other children playing after tidying up the toys...

There were only a few strips of grass left when

Liam had finished. He was tired and hot but I think he

liked it. Being able to do something a little more 'grown up'

and have some responsibility is good.

I told him that it would get easier,

the more he does it the stronger he'll get

and the easier it will be.

But it's still a job and jobs are hard sometimes

and sometimes you don't wanna do it

but it has to get done.

Responsibility.

Let's see how he feels when it has to be done

every week, or even twice a week!
