Elmer, the Paintbrush, and the Pool

Some kids get attached to a stuffed animal. Some kids get attached to a blanket. Cason has become quite attached to a paintbrush. We were at Home Depot two weeks ago, getting some paint and I grabbed a cheap paintbrush so he could paint with water outside. Then the weather got cooler and we didn't end up playing with water until the last few days. I gave him the paintbrush anyway and he ended up becoming quite attached to it. He carries it around the house most of his waking moments. It also goes in the car with us anytime we leave the house. It goes with him in the stroller when we go for a walk. He asks for it when he first wakes up and hates to part with it when he goes to bed.

Cason also loves this stuffed elephant that his Gramma B. sent him. It too, has been carried around the house with him and taken on many a car trip in the past week!

I just liked this picture. He picked out the shorts that morning himself because they had flowers on them.

We impulse bought this little pool for him today. Notice the paintbrush in his hand.

Elmer had to stay inside and watch Cason play because Elmer did not want to get wet.

Jenner actually had more fun in the pool than Cason and got way more wet. Jenner kept digging in the water. We think he was trying to get the fish that were molded into the bottom of the pool. Not really sure what he was doing. But here he is attacking Cason's cup.
