Discoveries

     My grandson is visiting for a few days. He and his mother drew pictures on our back patio with sidewalk chalk. Later, the colors blended in a rainbow when we watered the plants. He splashed in a small puddle of water from the garden hose. I showed him how wet bare feet become little boy footprints.
     Inside the house, we discovered the marvels of Color Wonder markers and paper. The markers only show up on special paper, but that didn't stop the little Picasso from experimenting on his skin and the table top. He quickly mastered pulling off the marker lids and snapping them back on. Nana marveled at the dexterity of one so young.
     In the evening, our old dog, Andy, joined us in the living room for playtime. Little Critter put his foot next to the dog's--toes touching toes. He giggled at the comparison. Andy has never liked his feet touched, and flinched, which caused the little boy to laugh harder. Touch, flinch, laugh!
     This morning we will have more adventures and discoveries, and I'll relive life through the eyes of a two-year-old.
