More of the mondays

Yes kids,

mam and dad bought Brent his lovely helicopter exactly a week ago.
It was promised in case you (Brent) decide to use the potty for number two. And voilà! you made good on your promise - we made good on ours.

Must say it  was hard to take it away from you that day you had an accident - but you did real good and earned it right back :)

Logan totally digs the thing - but Loggy is WAY too strong to be handling fragile things like helicopters so we'll wait til he's 2 or as close as possible to that age - before we let him handle it.
If in fact Brent or daddy or mam hasn't broke the darned thing by then.

The weather was scorching and the dogs needed a drink - this water channel was an excellent cooling place.

Let's play a game:

Can you spot the jackrabbit ears?

To make things more interesting we crossed the river behind Daddy and Brentik - yes. On foot. With Logan strapped to my back. And sure - the current was incredibly swift - but daddy was strong enough to pull two pit bulls right across it, lest they be washed away. And then carried Brent and supported me all the way across it as well.
Somehow Duke and Dez thought it was a blast... so did Brent.

Logan tried to tell us afterwords in his baby-speak on how he had this weird dream about crossing the river and dogs were almost swept away  in it and then Ma carried him across... but it was lost on non-believers (in baby-speak) therefore he soon after went back to sleep.

Brent DID try to walk through it and could have - however the water's temperature would have held back the most steadfast toddler on the planet. No matter how gung-ho he might have been.

There wasn't much on the other side - however dogs DID scare a deer, who promptly ran off across the same side of the river and ran away.

Hehe - Brent climbed  that all on his own. Much to my delight - cause for a moment I could handle the dogs without him running about or about to get in the water again.
