Leaf Buffet

It was an all the leaves you can eat experience with Sarah and Khai last week. Oddly, he didn't try to eat many leaves when finally given an giant pile. He seemed to enjoy it a little. I think he'll enjoy a giant pile of leaves next year when he can run and jump into them. Khai used them as a cradle. For more pictures, head here.

p.s. I did not freeze my child by taking his shirt off just for the sake of a picture; it was an unusually warm day =)

First Food = Leaves?

The Princeton school district has two small playground designed for preschoolers and these pictures are from our visit to one yesterday. We took a nice walk over and showed Truman all the equipment then had some fun with the leaves. It's kind of nice that the playground has turf instead of grass so that I'm not worrying about bugs and pesticides. That way I only have to worry about him eating leaves or rubber bits.






Picking up that we weren't going to let him eat the leaves, Truman decides to cunningly slip his pacifier out of his mouth while holding the leaf up to his mouth so he has time to shove it in before we can stop him. That's what he's doing in this picture:



What can I say, he's a smart cookie.
