My son and I love to take walks in Autumn. We took a walk the other day and it's a perfect day. You know, it's the kind of weather that makes you want to breathe in the beauty and energy floating in the air. The sky was high and blue. The clouds were like cotton candies and all kinds of animals. He stopped by the flower bush to pick up some purple pedals on the ground. He was so excited about the beautiful flower pedals he collected. This was the moment I wish I had a camera with me and captured the bright smile on his face.
I want to share with you the story of this yellow ladder. About a month ago, we were on our morning walk. We walked by a house with tons of stuff setting on the curb. Among all the furniture and other toys and junks, this yellow ladder caught his eyes and he could not let go. It was part of the bunk bed I think. I told him, "If you want that thing, you have to carry it home all by yourself. I'm not taking it!" Without thinking, he put that ladder on his little arms and started to walk home. It's about half a mile from home and it was very hot. He was sweating like crazy and really had very hard time after going up the hill. He did not complain but just stopped when we were almost to our street. I couldn't help giving him a little hand. He got home and started to put the ladder to use right away. He used it against the wall, the bed, the door, the couch and everything he could see. He's absolutely delighted and felt like he could really fix things or paint the wall just like Baba. What a great treasure he had found! (Baba and Mama certainly did not think it's a good idea to have it around. I did not think he could carry that heavy thing home. What can I say, he is a big strong boy!)
Okay, about the mirror.. He loves to take pictures. That afternoon we took some fun pictures together. He took this one saying, "Mirror, say cheese!"
