This weekend we finally got out Noah's sandbox... we have come to realize the he is a textbook "slow to warm" child. He was scared to death of the sand... it took us three days, we progressed from touching the sandbox, to standing and hitting the sand with the shovel, to kneeling and using the shovel (crying if the sand actually touched his skin), to playing in the sand with his hands outside of the box, to finally sitting in the sand and letting it touch his hands and feet. Luckily, after this slow introduction and Gabe getting in the sandbox with him he now loves it and walks over to it and takes the top off every time we go out to play:)
We hope this blog will allow family and friends to see how fast our four kiddos are growing!
