• ….on a hot, hot, hot summer day, what could feel better than a run through the sprinkler?

                                                                                          

  Both of these youngsters, Wyatt (2 1/2) and Chip (7) thought it was the perfect idea. But Wyatt doesn’t call it a sprinkler…this budding little farmer calls it the “irrigator.”

                             

  Back inside, the farm theme continued as tractors seemed to be the toy of choice today. Wonder why??

                                         

  When we had a little tickle-fest and the outcome was a case of hiccups for this very verbal young lad, he said, “Mimi, I have the hookups.” Needless to say, this Mimi cracked up.

  Mimi got to Wyattsit because Mommy had a meeting after work today. After naptime, we turned on some music and Wyatt demonstrated some of his newest dance moves. This little boy loves to groove, with the Wiggles being his very favorite group. But equally requested are some of Laurie Berkner’s songs, especially “Victor Vito.” As a matter of fact, this is one of Mimi’s favorites, too. For those of you who are not “up” on current musical trends among the toddler set,  my advice is to get Laurie’s CD….it’s good for kids of all ages! Our seven-year-old Emma’s favorite is “Fruit Salad Salsa,” two-year-old Lucy loves “Bottle Caps,” and we all adore a sweet lullaby called “Moon, Moon, Moon.” I sometimes sing these in my sleep.

  It’s such a nice diversion to sing and dance with a little one for a while. In real day-to-day life, we’ve had the sure-nuf dog days of summer to deal with this week, but we’re hoping for relief soon. In the meantime, the “real” irrigator is running fulltime on the new Bermudagrass field, trying to boost growth for a third cutting of hay. Hurry, September!
