A few days ago, Eric and I raked the back yard. We love our huge, shady lot 11 months out of the year. October is another story.
When we started bagging the leaves, Sam ran over to help. We chuckled and thought we'd let him think he was helping. I held the bag low enough for him to reach, and he started filling it at an amazing rate. We stopped laughing when we saw how good he was at it. Bag away, Sam!
The three of us had a great system. I held the bag and stomped them down to make more room. Eric and Sam took choreographed turns lifting armfuls of leaves and shoving them into the bags. It was wonderful!
Once the slave labor was finished, I took the pictures below.

I LOVE THIS KID! He really couldn't get any cuter!
Sam is so exceptional that not only is he learning and applying knowledge daily, he's also capable of enjoying manual labor.
Oh my goodness... in the month that I haven't checked in with this blog Sam has grown up by several years!
