Sunny Saturday fun

Jon and Sylvie had some special Saturday morning time together while I hit a couple of yard sales. Hooray for yard sale season! It was pretty much a bust except for an awesome pair of OshKosh overalls. There are pictures somewhere out there of me wearing the same exact ones in 1980 or so. They weren’t sized, but the woman at the sale said her daughter wore them at around age 2, so I guessed they would be the perfect size for my freakishly long little friend, which they were. Of course I changed Sylvie into them as soon as I got back.

We spent the next few hours hanging out in the backyard, trying out her new outdoor toys (thanks for the climber and the boat, Sarah!). She loved opening and closing the door to her climbing structure, honking the horn on her boat, and she especially loved getting zipped around the lawn in her little red car. She _stood up_ for half of the ride and I found myself wondering where, exactly, her threshold for fear might be. This kid is a serious daredevil! I realized that morning that, while all of our varied outings and field trips are cool and fun for both of us, our little overall’d bumpkin is honestly just as excited gnawing on a blade of grass and watching daddy mow the lawn. So, hooray for backyard season, too!
