Sawyer was fascinated with the tractor from the moment my Dad first showed it to him. In fact, he didn’t want to ride anything else around the court if he could see it.

Bear in mind this tractor is close to 30 years old. It doesn’t steer all that well, then again he can’t even reach the pedals, so it’s definitely a Sawyer +1 experience. Abby said he even took his shoes over to my Dad and then went to the door to go back outside! He just couldn’t get enough.

Here he is before we went to zoo on Sunday:

Not even moving yet already so excited:

He looks perfectly at peace, doesn’t he?

He even ignored the big Penske moving truck at the end of the court:

Hard to tell who is having more fun:

Of course Kevin had to give it a spin too:

It makes sense that Sawyer would have such an affinity for the tractor. He is not only a freak for anything with wheeeeeelllzzz, there is also a strong line of farming in Abby’s family. I can’t count how many times I saw my Mom or Dad outside pushing him around, but I know that he loved every second of it.

Thanks to both of you for taking such good care of Sawyer!
