Two year olds are full of wonder. Ever curious, exploring, and most of all, touching. Thing 3 has a special ability, like most two year olds, whereby he will touch exactly those objects you least want him to.
What sort of objects does he like to touch? These days it’s animal poop. Yes, he has a possible future as a Pet Butler. Got Poop? We Scoop.
Last week at Cox Farms we were feeding the goats. Thing 3, who also loves to pick up rocks and mulch, was picking up goat poop to throw it.
Again, today, walking to feed the ducks. The path is loaded with goose droppings. If he isn’t stepping in it, then he is picking it up and throwing it.
