A Way to Cool Off

We are putting in a small pool this week. I thought it would be a one day installation, but it looks like it will be a week installation. James has been working diligently to get a retention wall up and we're using a friend's tractor to level the ground.

I thought I'd take some pics of Ryland and James on the tractor. Ryland is all boy because he couldn't wait to get his hands on the steering wheel. How do they know how to do this so young? His personality is so fun to watch develop. He has found his feet and loves to eat his baby food. I gave him 'chicken' baby food this past week and it was the nastiest smelling food. It made me nauseous! He didn't seem to like it that much either. It will be a good while before we try that again.
