We babysat Carlile while Brianna had her play practice. Mav was at VBS and Jackson was finishing up haying in Columbia (in brutally hot weather! It was 103 here!!)

Sweet happy boy. Great personality. He talks and talks and moves his whole body - very expressive. Talks much more than Mav did at this age.

After Sunday lunch we babysat Maverick while Jackson finished up haying. (Brianna and Carlile were in St. Louis).
This Dress Up Joey has been the best toy! Maverick still loves it! Uncle Jonathan was helping him get the hat on just right. :)

Mav said the fireman is his favorite - I think he said he wants to be a fireman when he gets older. I told him that I bet his preschool will get to go visit the fire station in person this year! :) (surely they will...)
After his nap he wanted to play with the ‘alligators’. He was having a fun time putting them all together. And then he decided to make alligator soup. He put them all back in the container with his ‘secret ingredient’ of two little trucks. :D Then he put them under the chair and said they were cooking. He had both of us use hand fans to get them to cook. :D Then he served it to me and I told him it was delicious!! :D This kid just has creativity coming out of his pores. :)
