I think telling him four times to put his shoes on is still somewhat age appropriate. Or maybe that's just what I tell myself to appease the screaming voices in my head since I do that with Bryce about ev-er-y-thing. There is this to say: WWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have Bermuda grass, which is IMPOSSIBLE to kill because it is a WEED. This works in our favor in summers like this.<br/><br/>2. I took this picture REALLY EARLY in the day (seriously, I think we were outside that day at 7:15 in the morning). That early, our yard is all shade. Come 3:00, not so much.<br/><br/>3. The shade (provided by our neighbors' lovely trees) makes the grass look greener than it is. Ironically, the grass would be dead if the yard were that shady all day; Bermuda needs lots of sun. And it gets it, believe me.<br/><br/>Henry is doing well--he's back to his usual happy, distractable, hyper self. No meltdowns since we stopped the meds, although I did have to ask him FOUR TIMES this morning to put his shoes on to go to the pool. Phew.<br/><br/>But at least he was nice about it!

(Which probably accounts for the greenness of the grass, come to that.) I'd be frolicking, too, if I had that much shade, and even a blade of grass in my yard.<br/><br/>Frolic on, boys! The shade!

Frolic on, boys!
