Slippers

Ian didn't use to like his little shark slippers someone (aka Mommy) had so thoughtfully bought him. He didn't like the way they felt on his feet. But, as I've shared before, once he connected the idea that he had to have shoes to go outside, he and his slippers became good buddies. Even though he often goes out back barefoot, the other morning he brought me his slippers. I knew that could only mean one thing - he wanted to play outside!

As soon as I got his slippers on, he dashed off to the backyard!

I couldn't resist snapping all these pictures of him playing in just his shirt, diapers, and slippers. I guess in his mind pants aren't yet mandatory for backyard play. :-)

He loves pulling his wagon around the backyard.

And he's rather serious about getting it to go the way he wants it to.

He gets quite upset and frustrated when Mr. Wagon doesn't turn the right way on command.

Oh well. Bubbles made a good distraction!

Ian had a blast running around and trying to pop the bubbles. He often likes to pop them with his forehead or mouth if he can, but it was so windy that he had to settle for popping them with his hand! (And I didn't know Daddy was recording, as evidenced by my comment at the very end...haha.)



Mommy, come chase bubbles with me!

After playing with bubbles, he was in and out of the house until he had brought out the rest of his toys. He loves bringing all his riding toys outside!

We really love having a backyard!! I'm looking forward to many more fun filled days out there as the weather continues to warm up!
