Clearing snow

Over the summer, Michelle made a good pickup at Goodwill: a John Deere tractor for Jonah. We started him practicing early with it when there was nothing to push. He was just starting to walk at that point, so it was great walking practice.

This fall, he had the opportunity to try it with some leaves while I was raking:

The real test came with the dusting of snow we got over this last weekend. It wasn't much, but there was some snow for Jonah to experience:

We need to practice emptying the plow. :)

Unfortunately, we cut his time short with the plow because he kept getting up too much speed before hitting the splits between the sections of driveway (like the one he is stuck at one in the beginning of this video) and sidewalk, thereby stopping the tractor much faster than he could stop. After a couple crashes, we figured it was time to move back inside. Did he do that on purpose to get out of work???
