Jonathan the rancher

One day, I swept the kitchen. (yes, it happens occasionally!) Jonathan asked for the dustpan when I was done. He asked for it to be connected to his loader tractor, so Loren (the workers were staying with us) found him a leather string and hooked it up. Jonathan was telling me all about it, saying a word I couldn't figure out...something like "arener". I thought it was the sound the loader made or something, and kept saying "yes, the loader goes "arrrerr". Then he said "Papa drives the loader in the arena." And the light came on! Oh! It's an "Arena-er" for dragging the riding arena at Gramma and Papa's. He couldn't be corrected...Loren kept trying to tell him it was called a chain drag, but Jonathan knows better. It's an "arena-er". What a clever child! He also knows Gramma drives a Kawasaki mule, and Papa's is a Kubota. All this from a 2 1/2 year old!

How nice to have worker company! We had our workers this weekend too. Fischer loved playing with them. It was fun to watch the video of Annisia crawling and read/see how busy Jonathans been.
