We have quite a bit of lawn around our house, and Beloved still mows it all with a push mower. It's really hard work and it takes him forever. The boys love to be outside while he mows. They play with the mowed grass and bring their Daddy glasses of water. They also have a toy mower that Sparkle got for his very first birthday, which they take turns pushing around, following after Daddy. They are excited to be able to mow the lawn themselves when they are "grown up men!" We'll see how long that enthusiam lasts once they are old enough for lawn mowing to become their chore!
Watching them "mow with Daddy" every single time he mows our lawn reminds me of just how literally children model their values and behavior after those of the adults they love. It's very humbling!
My 4 1/2 yr old nephew has one of those and ADORES it!
