My little cutie.
This just makes me laugh.
Zach has had an obsession with digging and working in the yard for as long as it has been possible for him to do so. He begs to go outside. I must say I am truely grateful to have a backyard this summer. I'm convinced that with him it is a necessity, not just a bonus. We are already out there a ton. Wind? Cold? Doesn't matter. MUST DIG DIG!!!
I was a little confused for awhile because it sounds a lot like he's saying "Da Da" and I thought, I know he knows who I am. But then I realized he's saying "dig dig." And it's a command. He's still in this bossy phase so he wants us to dig where he tells us to, and with the tool that he gives us. I've been trying to move some of the millions of rocks we have in our yard, but it's not good enough for me to be outside with him working in the yard. I definately should be using the rake. On the other side of the yard. Silly boy.
So we dig.
And we dig.
And we dig.
And we dig some more.
It makes him so happy. Just look at this funny little smile.
"Mama. Hoe. Dig dig." 
It's going to be a tough lesson when I get my gardens planted and he can't dig everywhere!

What a good, hard worker!! Put that boy to work.:) That's so cute he's got this obsession going on. Yay for backyards!
Just like his dad.
I love the photos of Zach's digging phase. He is a good, though bossy little helper. During his earlier raking phase, he cleaned last winters leaves out of our backyard bushes far ahead of our usual schedule. Everyone in the yard has to participate, using the tool of Zach's choosing.
The world of sentances and phrases is a powerful world indeed. He has now surpassed all non-humans in intelligence.
