Cedrik and Freddie spend a lot of the day outside. They have begun building a road, inspired by the road building mighty machines episode. Each day they give me their lunch order, pretend to pay and eat outside after their orders are called at the door.
They know a lot of the people that walk by our house and say hi to everyone or wave as they drive by. Their favorite person is actually a dog named Fred. They see him most days and Fred gets so excited for them he stares the house down waiting for them to emerge. Sometimes he happily barks in their face. He's an old golden retriever but manages to bounce up and down for them. There is a mutual love.
Cedrik's new consequence for his yelling is to take a few laps around the backyard. He has to walk the perimeter of the grass as many laps as we assign. Sometimes he decides to pout for awhile before doing it. Sometimes the pouting is a loud yell. I figure if it's after 8am, oh well. I know he needs extra love, but he's trying to pull away from it.
Oh, be still my heart. Those tiny construction workers? Darling.
