He loves his sandbox!

In our little courtyard Tay enjoys hours of fun in his little turtle sandbox. His newest accomplishment is learning to keep the sand IN the sandbox, which is a must when your yard is only 10ft by 10ft. In the morning he usually goes out for a few minutes even before getting out of his pajamas while I am making breakfast. He comes running through the kitchen yelling, "outside, outside!" Then in just a few minutes he is standing at the door asking either for "juice, juice" or "breakfast, please". Our mornings start out with a bang and don't slow down until about 1pm when our little man takes his nap by giving night-night kisses and being carried off to bed usually giggling because Daddy tickles whenever he gets the chance.
I enjoy my moments of peace but I always smile when I hear a faint, "mommy, daddy" from the upstairs bedroom and when I walk in his room its "up" and I pick up my boy with his arms ready to give me a hug and a few minutes with his head on my shoulder. Then get ready for the little feet pattering toward the door and I hear "outside, outside!"
