The "Monmower"

Monmower....What the heck is a "monmower?"
Well, I'm not even sure I'm spelling it correctly... but the first grade teacher in me who trys to spell phonetically when translating things for kids is pretty sure this is what Mason calls anything that has a motor or turns on... especially the vacuum cleaner. He is infatuated with the thing and trys to "fix" it at least once a day. He pushes it, he rides it, he even plugs it into Ian every now and then.
We decided he needed a "monmower" of his own... and the one we found looks just like mine, so that made it even better!
He still likes mine the best (as you can see in the picture) but his really works and even has a detachable hand vac too!
I think he's going to take after my Grandma Sundberg and "rev up" the vaccuum cleaner every chance he gets!!
Ian & I just hope that his love for "cleaning" sticks with him long enough to be of use to us.

Mason's little mind is soooooo inquisitive.....much like his Papa Sundberg's!!
I can't quit smiling as I look at the pictures!!... hearing him say "monmower" as he negotiates the thing!
LOVE the "expressions" you captured!!!

So I guess this means that I can take ours out of hiding from Christmas? Actually, I found it the other day and smiled when I realized why the "monmower" was hidden in Leslie's closet. It was fun to spend time with just Mason on Saturday - what a riot!

So I am remembering Mason with the hand pump for our air mattress repeatedly saying "monmower" and leaving it on until the battery died. He was so disappointed, but soon replaced the "monmower" with the step ladder. What a funny little guy Mason is. One of the many reasons we love him oh so much!!

So cute. I couldn't help but notice that your baby is no longer looking like a baby. He is getting so tall, and toddler-ish.

I was thinking Monmower was a lawn mower. Guess not. Isn't it funny how boys love to fix things. My nephew loves to fix things. VERY CUTE! Mel
