Pockets...

Ben has started to collect things a lot lately. His pockets bulge with his new treasures. Found at the beach, the park, the mountains or our back yard. I find beer and soda bottle caps, rocks and pebbles, sticks and string, old popsicle sticks...and oh so much more! He's a regular Tom Sawyer! I find the treasures as I rifle through his pockets as I'm doing the laundry or as I'm vacuuming the house. He gathers his treasures and includes them into his daily play. He can get the other kids at the park to join his mission and game with the found bottle caps and have tons of imaginary fun! Sometimes he puts his treasures together somehow and to create something that will occupy him for hours.

It's awesome what that kid can do.
