We recently bought Hampton a kid's swing for the tree in our front yard. Ben went out to hang it one night and came in after only a few short minutes. "I need you to look up how to tie a bowline knot," he said. "Papa taught us how to tie one with one hand and our eyes closed when we were little, but I can't figure it out." We found a great knot-tying website and practiced a few times before we climbed up the ladder. It was a little different trying to tie it around a tree. After lots of laughs we hung the swing, and it's even level! Papa would be so proud and Hampton is LOVING his swing. He bangs on the front door wanting to go outside and if he hears a door open he kicks it into high gear to make it out before it closes. The weather has been beautiful and we have truly enjoyed being outside.
We have a blue bird nest in our backyard. The parents always attack Sydney when she goes near it. The other day, Ben called us into the office to look at one of the babies. This was Hampton's first experience with a wild animal...and this one was WILD. He was very interested, but probably would not have been very gentle. I love that he is so interested in animals!!! He's like his mommy.
