- Ask Toddler if they want to check the mail
- Toddler holds hand and walks to mail box
- Check mail box - discover it is empty
- Toddler wants to play out the front
- Chase Toddler around for a bit
- Toddler decides to sit down on front deck
- Toddler wants Mummy to sit down too
- Toddler pants the deck on the right of him for Mum to sit down
- Look at spot next to Toddler and tell them that Mummy's bottom isn't that small
- Toddler looks at spot and stands up
- Toddler walks a fair few steps along and sits back down
- "Sit Mum, sit!"
- Laugh and tell Toddler "Mummy's bottom isn't that big!"
- Sit down and Toddler comes in for a cuddle
- Sit on deck and watch the cars go by
- While sitting there, notice there are a few new weeds in the garden
- Start weeding
- Notice it's starting to get a little windy
- Wind blows dirt into eyes
- Decide to weed further along
- Continue to weed and make pile of weeds on driveway
- Toddler runs around and decides to help
- Toddler grabs handfuls of dirt (not weeds) from the garden and starts making his own pile on the deck
- Ask Toddler to pull the weeds instead
- Toddler starts pulling weeds and puts them on his pile of dirt
- When Toddler walks back to garden to do more weeding, the wind blows his pile away
- Decide that with the wind, it's enough gardening for today
- Ask Toddler to help with collecting the wheel barrow
- Put Toddler in wheel barrow and give them a ride to the front garden where the pile of weeds were
- Come into front garden to find both Toddler's and own pile of weeds have blown over the garden and front lawn
- Make it into a race/game to collect the weeds and put into the wheel barrow (Toddler wins)
- Put Toddler on top of weeds and push wheel barrow to weed pile out back
- Empty wheel barrow and head back inside for afternoon tea
- Discover itchy arms and realise within the weeds there was something that causes allergies
- Check on Toddler - they're fine
- Take antihistamine and hope it works!
