Feeding with a Four-Year-Old

We always have an extra helping hand when our nephew Lawrence is around.  He was born a cowboy. 

He had to assess the situation before he got started.

The horses are always first.  He tried to do it on his own, but Uncle McD just had to help.

Much better!

Lawrence loves the horses. LOVES them.

Now, to feed the cows! He loves the cows too!

I love to see those little leather gloves on him. 

He is such a hard worker.  If it were any other four-year-old, you'd see them walk away after one bucket.  But not Lawrence.  He was determined to see the job finished.

I forgot to mention that Lawrence LOVES his Uncle McD too. 

When Lawrence was a baby, McD could put him to sleep like no one could.  They've had a connection since he was born.  The only thing that Lawrence doesn't want like his Uncle is his hair cut. 

Finally, finished! 

Time to let the cows in, and then head to the house.

I like to think that when he grows up a little more that he will be staying with us some during the summers.  I already have a list started.

While we were all out there feeding a song came to mind, Just Fishin' by Trace Adkins.  If you haven't heard the song, then you should look it up on YouTube, and then listen to the words.  It is basically about a daddy taking his little girl fishing, and she thinks they are just fishin' but he is making some of his best memories.  He thinks we're just feedin' is what went through my head.
