Repeat and Re-repeat.

My three year old, Cyrus, has to do the things that I do. From riding on the lawn tractor, mowing the lawn to cleaning the house to wrenching he has to be with me, doing the things I do. My neighbor is astounded by how hard he works beside me at three years old.

My one year old, Nick, has to do things from like his big brother. He wants to drink out of Cyrus's cups, eat his cereal out of a bowl like Cyrus does, play with Hot Wheels like Cyrus does.

Yesterday evening we took a walk around the yard, checking on the trees and bushes I've planted, my kids right beside me.

Life is good.
