So Christian wanted to mow the lawn the other day and I was hesitant because I had watched on the news that kids shouldn't start mowing the lawn until they are 12 years old. So, instead of saying yes, I said, "if you can start it, you can do it." Well, I thought I was so smart because I even have trouble starting a lawn mower most of the time and didn't think he could do it. Well, he got the mower out of the shed and read the side of it and got that mower started. When I heard that thing start I was right there worried as can be giving him instructions, putting goggles on his face, etc. etc. Then, I realized he was really capable of doing it all by himself. This is a first for him and I guess part of cutting some apron strings. I thought I'd document it!
