Skyping with Grandma, Owen is showing her all of his robots.
Then he decided to take Grandma Marsha on a walkabout. It was hilarious, because he doesn’t quite grasp what she can and can’t see and was in his dark playroom showing her a puzzle that makes noise when you turn the lights off.
They must have mowed the course recently, because all of these putting green flags were in a big pile to the side of the green. Owen apparently didn’t like them there, so he put them ALL back in the holes!
Grandpa David took Owen to feed the ducks!
Owen likes to walk down to the golf course and sometimes play on the “big hill” right off the putting green and first tee. There are often golfers there, so I’m teaching him to say “Good shot!” and clap when golfers tee off. They love it. Once in awhile, they even toss him a ball!
We headed out for a walk so Owen says “Goodbye Holly. Goodbye Acer. Goodbye Finn. Goodbye Grem. See you soon. Going for a walk!”
I :heart: this kid!
This was cute… He had been right in the middle of the bush, tickling himself with all the little buds…and he says “Look at all the tickles!”
Covering his eyes while he counts—he wants me to go hide (even though we’re in the middle of a field)!
Geting ready to head out on a walk with papa:
Back from a successful golf ball hunt/walk:
And finally driving the police car!! YAY! Unfortuately, he refuses to steer!
And then we finally got him steering! Somewhat. 🙂
He’s still got a lot to learn about hiding.
While Tom and Marsha and Rob were out shopping this morning, Owen and I went for a walk to the golf course… (Sidenote: This is the only 3T outfit he has that still fits.)
“Machine!”
“Red! White! Yellow! Blue!” (Naming the colors on the sign.)
Hiding!
Another machine!
We were just about to head home when Owen started telling me his foot hurt. He hates wearing shoes so I thought he was just fooling me. But I unbuckled the sandal strap and felt around and didn’t see/feel anything that would be poking him so put it back on. He kept saying it hurt and I kept telling him nothing was wrong. He kept trying to get the shoe off himself so I finally took off the whole shoe…where I then saw a smashed red ant and three tiny bites. 🙁 Of course I felt like a horrible mom. Luckily when the shoes came off and the bug bite cream went on, he was totally fine.

We were on our daily walk to the golf course but had to step off the green to let actual golfers play through. They took an interest in Owen and asked if he’d like a golf ball. Well, you know him, he can talk up a storm if he’s in the mood, but heaven forbid a stranger ask him a question. 🙂 So I took his hand and walked him over and he took the ball and off he went. And wow did he have a blast—throwing it and chasing after it. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Just down the street at the golf course is a pond where ducks and geese hang out. We finally made it down there with some bread…
