Today, I tried to get Henry to just "play" outside in the backyard with me. I brought out his basketball, football, and his new favorite, his soccer ball. Not a fan of the great outdoors! He HATED the grass.
At first he just sat like this, alternating which leg was up in the air, as he did not want either of them touching that prickly green stuff. I was able to go pick a few dandelions in the yard and Henry just sat there and watched me, it was like he was frozen!
Refused to crawl in the grass. This was his response after trying to put his left hand in the grass to crawl towards me. You'd think it bit him or something, poor guy!
Oh, and of course, the other thing on his mind was trying to get this darn sun hat OFF!
We ended up having to go to the park and go on the swings instead, that way he didn't have to touch that scary grass anymore:)
Funny...Kevin didn't like grass when he was little either and still doesn't to this day...he refuses to walk barefoot in it! Give him awhile though...this whole green grass bit and nice weather thing is still new!
