Sandbox fun

We recently got a sandbox for Jon's parent's yard. It is intended to provide Nicholas a nice place to play, where he doesn't have to worry about other kids and I don't have to worry that a cat has been in the sand (it has a lid). The sandbox is all for Nicholas. He has a similar one at daycare, so he knows what they are for.

He really enjoys the sandbox, and likes it best if you play with him.


This is a great picture of our son - and one of the few times I have been able to get him to look at the camera. He got a boat and pail set for his birthday, and he likes to play with it in the sand. Particularly the boat because he can bang the boat against everything else in the sand box.

He doesn't eat the sand very often anymore. But he does like to pick up handfuls of it and throw it everywhere. Including at his mother and father. And in his hair. I never knew all the places that sand could get in (and on) a baby. But i am sure learning quickly.
