Johann Loves the Outdoors

As the title suggests, Johann really loves going outside. If you put on his shoes, he will run over to the door and wait (and if he waits to long he may start doing a frustrated wimper).

Once I told him that we needed to put on his shoes because we were going to go outside. He imediately plopped down on the floor and presented his feet. That would have been great, if I had his shoes on hand.

To be fair, Frances also loves going outside but I don't recall her being as into it at Johann's age.

Once outside, Johann will carry around a ball or push his little lawn mower (which is incredibly adorable, especially when I'm out mowing) or drag around a toy garden hoe.

He is very good about not going into the street. The sidewalk is the boundary, so that gives us a little time to get there if a child decides to make a break for a passing car. Johann will push our little, push hippo onto the sidewalk from the driveway and then turning it to simply go down the sidewalk (although today he started pushing the limits which means we have to be even more aware of him).
