sullivan and i like to go to the park, but since school let out it has been very busy over there. we have a lovely backyard, but the lack of shade has kept me from spending any amount of time out there.
ryan solved this problem for me by buying a piece of rebar and pvc pipe to anchor our beach umbrella in the ground. now with a few simple steps, i have my own little patch of shade, away from the chaotic scene at the park.
blue, who as you know insists on being in almost every photo, volunteered to demonstrate.
so far we have used it several times, and it works out great because sullivan does not like to crawl on grass and he stays on the blanket.
except for yesterday, when he took off at a rather brisk (as brisk as crawling can be, anyway) pace and plucked something out of the grass to show to me.
there, between his chubby pointer finger and thumb, was a rabbit turd. i managed to grab it from him before he put it in his mouth, but barely. as it turns out, rabbit turds are the perfect size for babies to pick up and attempt to eat. i learn something new everyday.
