Urban Exploring

The world is beginning to open up to Sam. His understanding and curiosity are growing by leaps and bounds. Lately, Sam has been obsessed with Lady Bugs. Every walk that we take through the neighborhood turns into a lady bug hunt. He classifies lady bugs by their color - red or orange. All lady bugs fall into one of those two categories. This is the scene that we typically see when we turn around to see where Sam is on our walks:



Many of our walks lately have been to the community garden around the corner of our house. Sam doesn't like to eat too many vegetables, but I am holding out hope that the process of watching them grow and eating them from our garden will make it more exciting (I know, I am probably just kidding myself). Sam loves to walk to the garden and help mommy weed or daddy water. He is also great at pointed out the lady bugs, or in the case of yesterday, finding mud filled puddles to jump in with his boots. Here is our garden plot very early on in the season:
