Loving lawnmowers

My computer died, so my time on here has been limited (my laptop died, we still have a desktop). The 4-month update is still forthcoming, but until then I meant to share this picture from last weekend (taken by my phone, but still a decent quality, I think).
Thomas loves to go to Lowe's. I generally don't mind taking him because I can bribe him into good behavior in the store (not as easy in other shopping venues) if I promise to let him ride the lawnmowers. And usually, he wants to ride every.single.one. Not that they move, of course, but he loves them all the same. He is such a boy!

Of course, one of these days we will have to beg him to ride the lawnmower (to really, actually cut grass!), but maybe if we keep grooming the love now, it will stay? Wishful thinking, I'm sure.

And a quick aside... Thomas did great at school on Thursday. It was his fourth day and the first time he had not one tear! Hopefully the progress continues. He told me, "Thomas had big fun at school. Met knew friends. Sang songs." Life is good.
