Funny how children dream of the day they get to do certain "grown up" things... the very things that make our to-do lists endless. One of those things for Benjamin has been cutting the grass. I sort of see it as a right of passage, a sign that my little boy, my first born and only son is indeed growing up. So with Benjamin at the ripe age of almost 9 1/2, Brian began the teaching process... mowing the grass 101. I'm sure this training will go on for sometime being how particular Brian is about how the grass is cut. And I don't think Benjamin was quite as excited about it after doing it. Actually, he was worn out - hard work pushing that mower around the yard. So we'll see how it progresses but at least he's learning. Way to go Benjamin!
