Pint Sized Farm Boy

The Boy discovered the joys of fall and farms on Saturday. Momma really wishes there were an apple farm near by; fall just isn’t the same without picking apples. So the family settled for a local farm, filled with chickens, goats, horses and pigs. Tall corn stalks, tractors, and pumpkins to play with. Here, the Boy is in a teepee (or possibly wigwam, I’m not really up on my dried corn husk housing).

Judging by his laughter and big smiles, the Boy’s favorite part of the farm was right here.

Mud Pies

Perhaps the Momma is too laid back, but she isn’t too worried if the Boy eats dirt or sand. He seems to love it, and in the past, has purposefully dipped his banana into the sand, only to lick it all off.

Saturday was a slightly new discovery, however. When playing with Momma down the water’s edge (close enough to get wet, far enough to not get knocked around by waves) a little boy just a month or two older than the Boy brought over a large orange bucket almost as big as himself. The two boys giggled gleefully while taking piles of muddy wet sand and flinging into the bucket. As you can see, their aim needed some work.

But the Momma was proud; the Boy generally prefers dry sand to water, and for him to play this close with the water hints that maybe one day, Momma and Boy can play in the waves together.

A New Treat

Momma thought the Boy would enjoy something cool on a hot day. Her first thought was a popsicle, but sugar water didn’t seem like the best idea for her little boy (given his family history of sugar loving, plushy people). So Momma got some GoGurt & froze it like a popsicle. She brought it to the beach, and the Boy LOVED it. What a great toy – you squeeze, and it makes a giant mess! And a tasty mess to boot!

Blue Skies & Blue Eyes

The Boy playing, feeling, learning, and eating sand. He loves the sand, the shells, the toys, the towels, the sun and the outdoors in general. The ocean? He’s not so sure about that yet.

Caught…

“Why no mother, I have nothing in my mouth. What ever would give you that impression?”

Hello World!

This is the boy. Hello Boy!

The Momma has decided that the Boy has monopolized her blog. And so she created a blog just for him. Right now, he's too little to write and blog for himself. But he's never to little to have a blog devoted exclusively to him.

Now, maybe Momma can get just a little piece of her life back, even if it is just having a blog that isn't ALL Boy ALL the time.
