Please let me go outside!

So Kaleb loves going outside. If he hears the front or back door open he starts bolting for it. If he sees me let one of the cats in the back door and not let him out - oh boy am I the meanest mom in the world. If I let him, he would live outside. He will go to the back door and reach for the doorknob making "ehh, ehh" sounds trying to gets us to let him out. He even knows that the latch on the front screen door opens the door and if I'm not quick enough will try to push it himself.

He loves eating rocks and bark and usually has one of those in his mouth and one in each hand just walking around having a great time. He also loves watering the plants with daddy. He wants to hold the watering can and when it is empty will cart it around the yard mostly heading for the spots that he has seen daddy watering. He really likes taking it up and down the porch steps.

Because it is very hot and humid where we live, one of the ways we spend outside time is to go and get the paper early in the morning (like 7am) and he gets to wander up and down the driveway while I read. I try to let him spend as much time out there as possible because I know its going to be so miserable the rest of the day. We also go out and play on the driveway while waiting for daddy to come home from work because it has usually cooled down by then.
