Sawyer got to play on his favorite toys at Grandma and Grandpa Truitt’s house again. He can now reach the pedals… at least when they are close.
Luckily he’s parked. No drinking and driving.
Sippycups come in assorted colors.
Pushing the tractor was getting hard on all of our backs. An old dog leash came in handy. This gives new meaning to “tractor pull”.
Time to relax with Grandma Penny and Aunt Sarah.
This was Sawyer’s first time seeing the tractor (the previous set of pictures were from later in the week). Notice that he dropped everything else he was playing with to run to it:
I want to thank my Dad again for cleaning it up and bringing it out, you definitely made his day. Just wait until his next visit when he’ll be able to reach the pedals!
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!
Sawyer really likes the petting farm at the zoo. He smiles from ear to ear.
Learning to play duck, duck, goose.
Returning to his family roots from my side of the family, he loved the tractors — mostly because they have “Wheeeelsz.”
He spied a goat.
Sheep.
Tired lions from the big part of the zoo.
