Puddle jumping and other adventures...

Jasper has been a busy boy lately. Over the weekend he went to a birthday party for a neighborhood friend and visited Cousin Nathan's Farm, where he discovered that it just may be his destiny to drive a John Deer tractor. He LOVED it. Thanks, Dad, for playing with him up there!

After several sunny days in a row, Jasper got used to going outside, to the park and in the backyard. It's hard to explain why we can't do that when the rain is coming down. Fortunately, we had a nice sunny break between showers. I decided to put his little green froggy rain boots on him and head out the door. Just like it was instinct, he took to jumping in puddles with no instructions or encouragement. About 25 minutes later the boy was soaking wet, his little jogging pants sagging with the weight of the water. He screamed for a few minutes when I dragged him inside!

Watching my boy playing in the street didn't lend itself to me taking pictures. If I had, I might be getting a visit from child protective services. I'm sure the rain will stick around for a few more months, so I'll have to enlist Dad to take some pics next time.

Here are a couple of others, though:

Turns out I do like spaghetti.


Thanks to the puddle jumping, we did a bath before dinner -- big mistake!


Is this what I'm not supposed to touch?

Cheeeeeese! I love chocolate covered bananas.

Enough with the pictures, Mom, more bananas!
