Riding the Tractor

Ty's Dad has been away a lot this Summer for work, up to three weeks at a time. The last time he was away, Tyler borrowed his Dad's tractor, to help get firewood put into the basement. It goes a lot quicker using a loader bucket than it does using a wheelbarrow!

Deklan absolutely loves Grandpa's tractor. Having it parked in our backyard for two weeks was like heaven! Every morning he would look out his toy room window to make sure "Poppa's tractor" was still there.

Deklan had to tell me about it every day that it was there, too.
"Mommy! Mommy! Poppa's tractor!"
"Yes, baby, I see Grandpa's tractor. It's very nice, isn't it."
"Rah!"
"What colour is Grandpa's tractor?"
"Red tractor!" :)

Last night, Tyler went to take his Dad's tractor back, and Deklan of course had to go, too.

Deklan has taken a real dislike to my camera lately, but he was so happy to be driving the tractor with Daddy that he actually smiled for the picture! It makes me happy to see his smile.
