We have the wonderful opportunity to spend a lot of time on Uncle Arnold and Aunt Diane's farm. William likes his 'chores.' He collects the eggs (haunts the hens) and helps pick blueberries, raspberries, and green beans. He loves his jobs. His favorite is going with Aunt Diane to milk her cow.
He's been loving the cousins to hang out with. Anna has been exceptionally nice to him. Evan and James are the big guys, and William feels a part of the circle when he gets to hang out with them.
Yesterday, we loaded the cow, pigs, and a pickup full of stuff and headed to the fair. Today, William and I will go visit Alexis, the purebred Jersey cow that Aunt Diane milks.
This morning, Diane took all the eggs in one of the refrigerators to the fair with her to make breakfast for all the 4-H kids. William only got one egg for breakfast. He went around whining, "Who would steal eggs from a 4-year-old?" I guess he feels a particular ownership of the eggs, if he's the one who collected them! Aunt Diane 'fessed up, but claimed she thought there were more in the other fridge.
