100% Boy

 Lately Andrew’s behavior has been reminding me that he is 100% boy and I am not.  I read the book Raising Boys by Dobson when Andrew was 1 years old and I couldn’t imagine the wild, sports and outdoor loving boy that Andrew is now.  I love watching him play happily outside and the way his face lights up when Bobby wrestles with him and I now will wrestle with him on days Dad works to help Andrew get energy out and then he won’t make Lily wrestle with him as much.

Andrew loves to eat in the back doorway, he calls it his “step”.  Lily and I ofter eat outside on a blanket and Andrew watches us while eating on his “step.”  On Sunday after church Andrew wanted to eat on his “step” it was a beautiful day and he happily ate his cheese stick, lunch meet and bread for lunch.  That is his favorite lunch to eat.
 The way he is sitting in this picture reminds me of Bobby and makes Andrew look so grown up.

Tonight, Tuesday it was cold and raining and Drew was outside playing t-ball in the rain having a blast.  
 I cannot get this boy to wear a coat, I guess he is just refusing to get cold.
Lily can’t wait to go out and play with Andrew, I have a feeling as soon as she starts walking they will be backyard buddies.  For now she loves watching him from the back door and I have to keep a eye on her because she will try to army crawl out the door if Andrew leaves it open.

Watching Andrew play in the rain.
I cannot stop taking pictures of that smile, Lily really does smile all day long.  I love that I have so many pictures of her beautiful smile.
