Sticks

You know what's more fun than the playground?

A stick!

Probably my happiest moment of the day was when Daniel left the playground area to find this stick.  He then was perfectly content playing with it and banging it on the ground.  

Then when we went to the store afterwards, he pointed to every stuffed animal, balloon, and ball and said "dat!" very excitedly.  Oh man, it's so hard not to spoil your kiddo!  But I was good, I didn't buy him any treats!  No need when you have a stick anyway.
