play

"Play turns out to be stunningly essential in childhood it’s like love sunshine and broccoli all juiced together."

Play is serious business and right now he will not stop play just to have his photo taken. So I have learned to be a bit sneaky. Here he checks on the worm he and Grandpa found while turning the garden beds, and watches the bubbles he blew float away. He is curious about everything. What does the worm think? What does he eat? Why are worms good for the garden? Why do the bubbles pop? What do the birds think about the bubbles that float in the trees? What are some bubbles big and some small? Why do they have all those colors in them? Can we go for a walk? Can we take Baker with us? What can I have for snack? Will Baker eat the worm? Why not? Can we look for bugs? Why do I have to put the worm back before I go home?

Just another fun Thursday with this boy. I feel like the luckiest Gramma in the world.
