. . . how to roll down a grassy hill! LOL! We walked to the neighborhood park yesterday. It was SO nice out! After a bit he started wandering around away from the playground and I got an idea as I watched him out on the grass. There's a hill there that is perfect for rolling down, so I got him to come over to me and lie down.


At first he protested, but then seeing I was doing it, he laid down, then I started rolling, then he followed! It was so much fun and I was laughing my head off! He dug it too, and kept it up for about 15 min.! What a hoot!


We both got damp and a bit dirty, but who cares!? It was one of those moments I'll never forget.


Along with this: When we got home, I flopped down on the couch and he got up on my lap. He said, "Granny, look!" A hummer was at the feeder. Hunter put his chin down on my shoulder and waited to see if another one came back. Moments later I recognized that deep breathing pattern. He was out like a light! All 48 pounds of 5-yr old!


I was in heaven!


Hugs, All,

Rolling down hills is great fun. Hunter must have had a blast! everyone should try it at least once a week:) 48 lbs huh? He is big but try having a 58 lb 4 year old use your back as a see saw. Yep, Connor's that big and I feel every pound.
