Genetics

I'm beginning to learn that genetics play a bigger role in our lives than we realize.

Toby has always been obsessed with grass: mowing it, the color of it, the smell of it, etc. I always thought it was just something he really liked, but after seeing Sam, I think it was in Toby's genes from the beginning of time. I think Toby mowed God' lawn in the pre-mortal world. Seriously. And I think Sam was right there with him.

When Sam sees Toby in his lawn mowing clothes he starts yelling, "Tractor!" over and over again and runs to the door because he knows Toby is going to mow the lawn. If a neighbor is mowing the lawn, I will take Sam over there and he will sit on the sidewalk and watch until they're done. Sam has his own small lawn mower and gets it out to mow with Toby, and he even goes in a straight line. If Toby gets in his way, Sam starts yelling until Toby goes around him. 

I think it's a little on the creepy side, but Toby is so proud.

Toby even waited for Sam to wake up from his nap so he could "help".
