5 - 6 Pick up sticks... 7 - 8 Lay them straight

Emma LOVES to be outside. But really...what child doesn't. After seeing her Daddy work out in the yard this spring she has decided she can help. Of course, her Daddy LOVES that!! Right now her favorite thing to do is drag her wagon around the yard picking up sticks and then taking them out to the burn pile. She doesn't care if the stick is only a few inches long or 3 feet long - it goes in the wagon. Then she takes them out of the wagon one at a time and throws them on the burn pile. Of course if they don't land the way she wants them to - she then tries to move it and get it just so.

I think I can get just one more on here.

Here I go

This thing is getting hard to pull

As you can tell - Emma is very happy with her sticks

I don't want this one here.....I want it over there

Time to go get another load!

I think Emma is going to be a BIG help out in the yard this summer. And come Fall....she is going to have soooooo much fun raking up all those leaves and hauling them to the burn pile :-)

Too cute! Too bad they lose that enthusiasm as they get a little older...
