Acorns A-plenty!

Ian has a new favorite activity at the park. He is no longer very interested in slides, swings, or climbing stairs. Instead, all he wants to do at the park is play with the acorns.

He finds the acorns so fascinating, especially since Mommy and Daddy won't let him taste them!

Once he has a good collection going, he has a few options.

1). Make his pile bigger.

2). Transfer his collection to Mommy or Daddy's hand. (This is a favorite choice.)

3). Stick them down the hole to the nearby water meter. A little two year old showed him this fun trick last week and Ian thought that was the coolest thing in the world!

4). Send them down the slides or put them on the balance beam. These are also very fun choices. Unfortunately, I didn't get any good pictures of these activities when we were out this morning. (Daddy took the rest of the pictures on their walk tonight.)

5). Carry them around for hours (at least while we are at the park). I love this picture!

Ian, you are so fun to watch with your acorns! It just proves we are all a little nuts around here!
