| Claiming the cats bed...both to her and my dismay! He ends up covered in hair head to toe |
I spent a wonderful day outside with my little man today. The weather has finally warmed a bit and we were able to shed a few layers, the most important one... the rain jackets! It felt so good to feel the warmth of the sun as we celebrated Earth Day together. There is a little beach right by the marina and L had a fantastic time climbing logs, throwing rocks in the water, and slapping around slimy seaweed. It's is so fun watching him explore and be so enthralled with a rock or a stick. We spent over an hour on the beach and he quietly played the entire time, inviting me into his little world when he needed help manouvering over a big log or throwing an especially large rock. My mission on the beach today was to collect rocks and sticks to make some natural crafts. I saw a tutorial on making rocks into Easter Eggs by felting them (like you can with soaps) they looked beautiful and I thought it'd be a great alternative to the usual plastic eggs. I carefully selected my egg shaped rocks and while L was napping I felted them up, they turned out beautiful and I couldn't wait to give them to Logan. What I should of remembered was how much he LOVED THROWING the rocks at the beach.... so of course as soon as I gave them to him they went flying across the boat. Guess we'll have to needle felt some eggs that won't break my mirrors! I just tucked in my tuckered out little nome, he is so precious and I feel so grateful I am able to watch him grow. I hope he learns to tread lightly on the earth and to embrace the beauty that surrounds him each and every day.

| He pick the BIGGEST rock he could possibly muster and then throw it an inch or two. I kept trying to convince him go for the smaller ones but to no avail. |

| His favorite was definitely the slimy seaweed. |

| He's got the WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS.... |

I love seeing him wave goodbye to babyhood and stepping into little boy land. :) Throwing rocks is par for the course. Happy Earth Day Logan!
ReplyDeleteLittle boys seem to love sticks and rocks~ I love the pictures of him exploring!
ReplyDeleteWe looked at cats last night dreaming of being able to have one, but I (as a mom) had to think of all the hair, on a tiny boat, it's hard enough to keep it clean with 3 children :O)
