The Rock

Lucas loves to play outside.  Every day we go out in the backyard where he can wander around and just explore all he has around him.  He is so curious, he just loves to see how things work and experience everything. 

He is so funny though because he's established a routine.  Each day we go outside, he heads straight for the red banana trees we have, he grabs a rock that is at the base, pops one in his mouth and continues on his way.  He likes to push things.  So he'll push his tricycle or LL's skitter and has a great time.  The entire time with the rock in his mouth. 

I've tried to take away the rock, at first having a hard time because...well, hello? They're dirty!  I have since decided some battles just aren't worth it.  I figure now, he's just building his immune system and he's happy. 

If we go out to the front yard however, he just likes to walk back and forth and tries to follow his big brother around.  That's often a little hard since LL is usually driving his truck around but he has fun trying. 

I love how simple his joys are.  He's a great kid.
