As Bruce has become more mobile, he is no longer content to stay in one place. He finds ways to entertain himself all over the house with more than just his toys, so we really have to be careful! It does encourage us to keep stuff picked up, however! I was in the kitchen and Bruce was playing by himself, going back and forth to and from his room to get toys, look out the window, etc. Then it got quiet. That's always a bit scary. I found him by the back door, playing with a laundry basket and clothespins I left there to bring the laundry in later. He didn't seem to notice my presence, he was concentrating so hard. He was putting the clothespins into the holes on the laundry basket. He was very serious about it and patiently focused on the task at hand. It is so amazing to see his little personality emerge!
On J's day off, we went to Fossil Rim, which is 1500 acres of land with animals wandering free all over it. It's like a safari, where you drive through and can see and feed the animals from your car. I was worried that Bruce wouldn't be able to enjoy it, but he actually loved it! He would look for the animals and point to them. He was intrigued when they came up to the car and stuck their heads in the window. We took B to the petting zoo part, but he was only mildly impressed. He walked straight past the goats, looking for rocks (a precarious pass time in a petting zoo). I assume he thought of them as dogs and just figured he pets enough animals at home. He did like the cockatoos that could say "hello" though. Here are some pictures of our day. Unfortunately, the camera batteries ran 1/2 way through the trip and the others I brought were also dead! Arrgh!
