The Crockers: Playing Outside

We'd like to start off with a special Thank You to Mrs. Schlichting for the content of these pictures. The haircut and toy are compliments of her. After the haircut, Paul had so much fun playing in the yard with Nathaniel and Julianna that Mrs. Schlichting insisted that we take home the truck for Paul to borrow.

Last night Paul was able to putter around the yard for about 4 minutes before we had to get in the car to go to visitation. That made getting in the car a devastating experience indeed. But, it turned out that the nursery has a similar toy (for girls, but we didn't tell Paul). My friend Ashlyn kept the nursery with Paul, Jakey (a 2-year-old), and her son J.J. Now, J.J. is right around Paul's age. So, back to the toy. Paul apparently found it and began pushing it around the nursery. Then, according to Ashlyn, J.J. wanted to get in on the action as well. So he sat on the toy, and Paul gave him a ride around the nursery. We all wish there were a video of that. But it's a cute story anyway.

Now for today. Paul donned what Aunt Laura would refer to as a "See Jack run." outfit (presumably because of the quasi-Opie Taylor / All-American-kid-you'd-find-in-stories look it conveys), and we headed out.
