Backyard play

Luckily we can lock Carson in the backyard now because he wants to come in and out all day long. Unfortunately we have a TON of flies now, but that's a different issue. The other night he drove off the edge of the patio and fell over in the car. He was devastated at the time, but now it's so fun to try and recreate it. Now that we have "own Jeep" in the front yard the Cozy Coupe has found it's niche in the backyard. :)


We got him a "construction site" sandbox a few weeks ago. Carl didn't want to, but I was sick of him getting bored immediately and wanting to play with everything he shouldn't out there. It came with two little tractors and has an excavator on the side to dig in the sand with. It has been so messy so far though! We knew it would be, but it has taken a lot of patience to teach him the sand stays in the box! Not to mention in the window wells so far there have been: three shovels, a broom, four pieces of sidewalk chalk, our one and only snack cup lid, two drum sticks, tons of rocks and piles of sand. We also found a froggie friend down there....... We've cleaned one out so far and some of that stuff is back down there for a second time.

He chooses to just jump in it at random times.
