With Age Comes New Responsibilities

Carson will be turning 9 years old soon and dad thought it was a good time to introduce mowing the yard, as part of his responsibility from time to time. It is a push mower (and NOT self-propelled), so it is quite a work-out. He did really good and only missed a few spots! He was certainly tired when he was done, but his face was beaming with pride. I have to say...I am proud of him too. He is a hard worker when he wants to be and will push himself to do better, whether it's school, sports, or just doing things around the house. Of course, we have our moments of giving little effort and lots of procrastination, like any other 8 year old boy. But, when he's in the "helpful mode"....he really rocks! My baby boy is growing up!
