The leaves are falling

 Autumn is a beautiful time of year when all the leaves change color.  It's also hard work, when those pretty leaves fall off the trees.  We have two beautiful trees in our yard that have begun loosing all of their leaves.  Yesterday, Cohen and I had fun raking them up.  He LOVES to help.  He raked, played in the piles of leaves and even tried to throw them away, although he missed getting them into the garbage.

It has been fun watching him explore and figure things out.  He is a thinker and explorer, that's for sure.  He LOVES his books, as well as the Far Side (hence the picture).  He also likes to help with whatever we are trying to do.  He will throw away trash for us.  He's starting to put away his toys and books.  He helps put away the groceries, but first he has to eat some of the food first, of course.  He is super ticklish and runs like 'Super Mario.'   We love our little man.
