Parkie the Worker

Ever since Parker could walk, he has been fascinated by anything with a long handle; brooms, shovels, rakes, etc. Last summer, he used to pick up a shovel or hoe and work with me in the garden. I'm looking forward to more help this year. And its not like he just pulls the tool around, he really works it, getting his entire body behind it. These photos were taken one night last week after he had helped me feed the animals and there was still a little light left in the day. By the way, JoAnn got him the cowboy hat for christmas and he didn't like to wear it much. However, when we go outside, I just say "where's your hat" and he runs over and gets it. We're going to try and do the same with his cowboy boots.
