Children are special in the fact that they see the world in a unique way as compared to adults. Avery's curiosity about the world is fun to observe, and it is interesting to see what he does with objects in which he doesn't know the function to. We captured some photos of such instances the past couple of weeks. Avery was given various random objects (such as a pipe cleaner, pom pom ball, sifter, popsicle mold, ice cream scoop, party noise maker, etc...) while we watched what he did with them. As it turns out, we saw these objects in new places across the house throughout the week. He seems to like to understand how things are put together, and will stick things in odd places to see if they fit. For example, sometimes we find our shoelaces strewn in the wrong holes, or TV cables in the opposite slots. Avery also enjoys building things with his blocks and gives names to them (like an airplane or firetruck). It will be fun to see that develop as his thinking and creativity matures.
