An early birthday for Micah

One of the things Micah's getting for his birthday this year is a bubble blowing lawn mower. Well, he already got it as you can see from this picture. It's the perfect toy for him because he loves to push things out on the patio and "bubbles" is one of his favorite words - he won't take a bath without them! We decided to let him have it early because Mum-Mum and Pop-Pop got it for him (along with a lifetime supply of soap), and we wanted to let them see him use it in person while they were visiting. Once he got it working, he was off! If you click on the picture below to enlarge it, you'll see how excited Micah was by the expression on his face. The only problem was that every time it started to blow bubbles, Micah would stop pushing and run back to try to catch the bubbles, all the while yelling, "Bubbles! Bubbles!" (Well, the other problem was trying to take it away so that we could go inside. LOTS of tears...) Mum-Mum and Pop-Pop pose for a good-bye picture on their way to the airport. This present also arrived today. It's from Grandma and Grandpa Black. I'm so excited for Micah to use beginning on his birthday! Given how excited he is about anything that involves a ball, we know he's going to love it. I am a little frightened about the kid on the right in the picture on the box. I really hope Micah doesn't start to dunk in slo-motion while shooting hoops, 'cause no preschooler should be able to do what that kid's doing!!
