Playing with potatoes...

I sat on the last step for a minute today just as Asher ran by. He turned looked at me and said "mom". I took this as a "follow me thing" and stood up to follow him. He turned back around and said "sit". He wanted me to sit back on the step.

He ran away and came back a few minutes later with:

2 Potatoes
2 Cinnamon Bears
1 Milk cup
2 Binkys

[a big load for a little guy... but he tries to carry everything he can with him these days.]

He sits on the bottom step, hands me a potato, puts all his stuff down, and just looks back at me with a smile. He starts throwing his potato up and catching it. Looks back at me to make sure I understand we are supposed to be playing catch with potatos. While sitting on the steps. Strange kid. He makes the funniest games up.

{you may also be wondering... why potatoes? Ash is fascinated by all produce. He wants to "hold it". Potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries, even pineapples. Since the potatoes are fairly accessible by him he has taken to playing with them whenever possible. He gets out my pans and then moves them from pan to pan... one of which eventually ends up in the fridge so they can "cool down". He is an interesting kid.}
