Sandbox

Stanley has finally realized that it is fun to play in the sand. Below he is putting the shovel back together; it kept coming apart. He spent about 15 minutes putting the sand in the sieves and he even figured out how to fix it if a piece of bark clogged the drain. And as a complete aside, we convinced Stanley to wear 'real' shoes. He seems to be pretty happy with these; we are hoping he keeps using them since his leather soled shoes are not ideal on city streets.

And, below is a video of him pushing the huge 'big' kid merry-go-round thing at the park. Apparently he has enjoyed doing this for a while. Halima says he walks around there and shows the other little babies how to move it. I guess at the playground 20 month old children are the big kids.
