On Tuesday Adam got a surprise in the mail. He had to wait to open it while I went and got the camera and he was surprisingly okay with that. It didn’t stop him from playing with his present though.

Once we gave him the go-ahead to dive in he didn’t waste any time tearing the paper off.

I am not sure who was more excited about the new mower, Adam or his father. Dave wanted to set it up right away and fill it with bubbles – in the house. I vetoed that idea and so we all went outside. It was a good thing too, or else we’d have ended up with a quarter of a bottle of bubble mix on the carpet.

Adam was so serious about mowing our lovely mostly brown yard (this summer and its lack of rain has not been kind to the grass). He thought the bubbles were a lot of fun and the mower got refilled with soap twice while we were outside. Dave even took a couple of turns with the mower while Adam chased after him popping bubbles. I think we need to figure out a way to get our push-mower to blow bubbles, maybe then Dave would get more excited about cutting the grass.

Thanks Grandma Cathy & Grandpa Kurt! Let’s hope Adam is as willing to mow the lawn in 10 years.

Here’s Adam singing his “ACDs”. He get distracted by the stars he is stacking in the middle, which is also where my finger makes an appearance on the side of the lens – sorry about that.

Even though I had to prompt him a couple of times, he really does know the whole song. He loves singing it and will come up to me at least twice a day, saying “ACD mommy, ACD!” He sings the “MEEEEE” at the end in an adorably fantastic high-pitched loud voice every time – and I hope that never changes.
