Different Directions

Often when we take our walks the boys want to do the same activity and stay together, but then some days they just don't. Today they started off good, playing with sticks in the pond but then Aiden wanted to go home to get more snack and Owen wanted to stay and play in the dirt.

So...Aiden took the wagon and started off home

And Owen sat and dug in the dirt

In the end, Owen was happy to race home with Aiden. And during our walk Owen stood with his hand behind his back, and surprised me with a daffodil. And Aiden actually held my hand, which he never does, not even when he was learning to walk. It was a great hour outdoors.
