{The Ordinary Moments} #19 - One boy, many sticks

6/29/2014

13 Comments

 
M-Little has recently added a new and very important accessory to his outdoor kit. Forget snacks or balls or sunhats, what the discerning toddler needs is a stick. Or even better, many sticks, collected in many parks. 

It's all about flexibility, you see. Us adults may think that a stick is a stick, but this boy knows better: there's a stick to suit all moods and tastes.

First, there's the Harry Potter Stick. Perfect for scaring your mates away from the best seats at garden parties.

Then there's the Cave-Boy Twig collection.

And the Gravel-Sorting Stick, for combining two favourite activities in one.

Finally, there's the Philosopher Stick. Which is also Mama's favourite.

I take it it also means that all sticks encountered while out and about must be carefully examined for their stick potential - or is that just my children?!

Haha, he definitely does that too! Which makes for some pretty hair-raising moments in Milan's rather dog poo-strewn parks...

Such a great post! LP also has a huge love of sticks and I had never noticed the different stick types until reading this. LP is a fan of the Harry Potter sticks and also the Philosophers sticks! x

To be honest, I never noticed the stick types either until I went through the photos! Now it's so clear to me he knows exactly what he's doing (like with so many things, the toddler seems to know best...) x

Lil G has a similar fascination, although he is not a particular as your little boy, that would be me! Inspecting each stick. You should read Stick Man by Julia Donaldson (if you haven't already that is) x

That's a wonderful idea, thank you! We have a nice stash of JD books but that one is missing. Next time we're in the UK I'll be sure to look for it. x

These photos are so cute - and I love how each stick has a different and very specific use!
