playing with straws.

Simon's new favorite toy (for today anyways) is straws. Not just any straws. Bubble tea straws.  He's always loved to count and sort and organize, so he's been having a blast with these straws today!  He sorted them by color, counted them, lined them up in a perfectly straight line, and then asked me what else we could do with them....

We spelled words, and made letters.  Then we stuck them together to see who could make the longest "sword" followed by numerous "sword fights" in which Simon was always the champion.   Then when the swords kept breaking apart we made a big mess and threw then all over the living room like confetti.

Then we each chose our "favoritest" straw and shared iced tea. :)
I love watching his creative mind grow.
