At the beach

We've been trying to get Caleb to walk on sand, (something which he has been very reluctant to do) so we brought him to the beach.
See how cautious he is standing on the sand. It took him a couple of minutes before he would move his legs and walk confidently.


After he warmed up a little more, we persuaded him to touch the sand with his hands


And then, he got a little more confident. He started lifting the sand and letting them run through his hand.


And... he decided that he could actually create a little mountain by heaping the sand together


And hey, what do you know? Other than the hands, you can use your legs too!


And then... how about throwing the sand instead of watching them fall through your fingers?

Oh, and do you know, you can use your shoes to scoop up sand too?


Well, after a while, Caleb got a lot more adventurous and started trying out all kinds of stunts with the sand. See his different poses.


We went home with a very sandy boy after that. He had sand in his hair, on his arms, legs and butt. He definitely had fun coz over the last week or so, from time to time, he'll start to bug me and say "I want... play sand!"
