A New Experience

I've taken Alex to the beach in town dozens of times in his life. Today marked the very first time I'd ever seen him truly understand where we were and why we were there. He was thrilled to play in the sand and 'build a sand castle' as he would later say he did. He would ask to go to the water. He'd ask to explore the rest of the beach.

For the first 2 years since he could walk, he would only want to stay in the sprayground (while its water was off) and stare at drains.

He even got a little into the hermit and horseshoe crabs we found today. Wow!
