Ok, in all honesty, we generally go to the park every day it isn't raining. Ryan loves the park. Really, he loves any excuse to be outside. On our walk to the park we are ever on the lookout for dandies (dandelions). It is his life goal to collect as many as possible.
He loves them so he refuses to release them from his chubby little fingers the entire time we are at the park. It makes swinging and riding the plastic seal difficult, but somehow he manages.
When it is time to go home he makes sure to count his collection. Over and over. "One. Two. Freeee." Then, as we walk back up the hill toward home he waves and says goodbye to everything at the park. "Bye swing. Bye slide. Bye seal. By frog. By park."
Oh, I love him so.
