Michael's Loves

We went to my cousins house to play last week and had quite a time. Michael came home with two new loves as a result. The first was a battery powered Jeep. Michael loved driving that thing around, and most importantly that he could do it himself. There were lots of tears when it came time to taking turns.

The second love and MOST important, THE drill. While playing inside he found a toy drill that makes noise and moves when you hold the handle. Power tool and noise, need I say more? The toy spent the rest of the day by his side. He loved it (that is a huge understatement). The kids were jumping on the trampoline and Michael wanted to go on. I told him that he would have to leave his drill off the tramp or someone would get hurt. This led to a fiasco. While on the tramp Michael would cry because he wanted the drill. While on the ground with the drill he would cry because he wanted to be on the tramp. I finally gave in and let him be on the tramp with the drill (sorry Kim and Sarah).

Watch out for the drill!

Needless to say, the drill came home with us thanks to the kindness of my cousin. And although he has mellowed out about it a little bit and he isn't crying anymore because he has to put it down to eat, it is still the first thing he asks for after his nap and when he wakes up in the morning. Michael always has so much fun at the Conants, and with such fun stuff and friends to play with, how could he not?
