Liam and the Big Stick

Liam has a stick 'thing'.

Every time we go on a walk he finds a willing stick to march along beside him. Naturally, as his mother, I worry about his eyes. So far no accidents. (We actually had to take him into the eye doctor on Saturday morning, to have a poke looked at...NOT from a stick, just Anders' finger. All is well, he has some drops to put in for about a week.)

The stick is usually the biggest one he can find, and if he finds a bigger stick along the way, well, he dumps the first stick and moves ahead with the better stick. Hopefully this is not an emerging pattern for later in life. Beware, girls!

This is the biggest stick he could find at the watershed when we took the kids to see if the snakes were awake yet. They weren't. But there were a lot of great sticks.
