A Walk in the Woods

Beckett and Nate went for a walk in the wide, wide world.

A Few of Beckett's Favorite Things

Puzzles. They are a real hit right now. I bought Beckett a new puzzle that makes sounds when each piece is put in its place. He was so amazed the first time he tried it.

Climbing. He can climb this ladder all by himself. He is already playing on the 4th and 5th grade playground. He's going to be so over it by the time he gets to elementary school much less 5th grade.

 

Juice Boxes. Mostly because the straw is awesome. Apparently it's also awesome to push the straw into the juice box even if that means you can't have any more juice.

Shoes. Beckett brings us his shoes so that we'll put them on him and then leave the house. Sometimes if he can't find his shoes he'll bring us our shoes.

Cars. Recently cars have become all the rage over here. Beckett crawls on the ground and pushes them around. He drives them on his head.

Helping. If it's a chore that includes taking something out of something else or putting something into something else I can usually convince Beckett to help. He's already pitching in with the laundry.

Super Why! His love for the Super Readers is undiminished.He especially likes to sit at the desk to watch it. Sometimes pushing the mute button on and off.

Being a Daredevil. The kid is fearless and fast. We must watch him like a hawk.

Thanks for peeking.

Sometimes I think Tyra* reads YA Fiction

* or at least someone on the ANTM staff.

First they did a vampire photo shoot. Maybe with this 2010 shoot ANTM was a little late jumping onto the vampire bandwagon, but vampires are still plenty popular. So much so that I'm not even going to bother to list any of the plethora of YA vampire novels.
The next season they did a fallen angels photo shoot.
It made me think of all the bazillion angel novels out there of which Alexandra Andornetto's Halo Series and Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush Series are just two examples.

I haven't read either series, by the way, but I do think Ann's photo would make a nice cover for a YA angel book.

Then this season on ANTM they did this crazy walking-in-a-bubble runway show.

Matched anyone?
