He was far more interested in the cars than he was the gardening equipment. Only a promise of his upcoming birthday party got him away from those. But after we were able to select a bug catcher, a watering can, some mini-plant growing sets and a ladybug kickball, we set off back for home.
That was when Alex grew interested in the bugs, plants and birds around us. After we spotted a robin, he wanted to hold his new bug catcher. I explained that it was for bugs and not birds, so he looked for bugs to catch.
He talked about plants and ants and how ants can't fly, but butterflies can. He talks about our walking home and our birdhouse. He talked about fire engines and asked were they were. He talked about Daddy.
All in all, we had a great little conversation on our little shopping trip. What a chatter he's become!
