Having fun in our new yard

Today Tom and I planted our garden while Jackson played in the new yard. I didn't take many garden pictures, but I will post them with a description of the garden in a day or two.

Jackson got a fort from Grandma and Grandpa Jackson (my parents) and a pool from Great Grandma and Grandpa Jackson (my grandparents) and he spent most of the 4 hours we gardened playing in, on and under his new fort. The kitty played there with him and they shared crackers. He would take a bite, then give it to her and pet her, then take it back and start over. It was so cute. His new word for any food or drink is "cucka" like a strange mis of cookie and cracker. It helps because he can do his little want/please hand sign and say cucka and we know he needs to eat or drink.







We also "swam" in his pool, but it didn't last long because he thought it was too cold and mostly screamed and cried. Therefore....no pictures. The swim vest my parents got him fits perfectly, but we couldn't really test its flotation since he wouldn't stay in the pool.
