Playing in the sand.


Is there anything more fun at the beach than playing in the sand? Boo, in the white shirt, and Skibo in the blue, both loved learning about making sandcastles. Last year when we went they didn't seem to get the ideas behind them -- this time, they did. It's amazing watching little brains click into gear, get an idea and run with it. And it is especially fascinating to have two small people, 21 months apart, and be able to see the differences in what they get and what they don't (and when they get it)! As with all children they have different abilities and interests and learning rates: Boo spoke much earlier than Skibo: on the other hand, there are many things he seems to be picking up (perhaps from her) much earlier than she did.

Yours, just watching,
N.
