Beans...

It seems as though all Henry really wants to do lately is watch cow/train/horse/tractor/construction vehicle videos on youtube. We don't have a functioning TV, so youtube is his only video source. Watching these videos once in awhile is fine, but sitting on the couch all day watching Weird Al's "Who Let the Cows Out" isn't a good thing for either of us. Last week, in desperation, I dumped a package of black beans into a bowl and let Henry use my measuring cups & spoons and muffin tins to play with them. He loved this! It functioned kind of like a clean, indoor sandbox of sorts. We'll definitely be pulling this activity out often from now on :)
