Puddle Jumping

A post for Mom, since she can’t see the Facebook video:

Silas went out puddle jumping the other day. We got home from running errands, and since my hands were full of whatever it was we did on said errands, I just put Silas down to walk inside. Instead he wandered over to the puddles in the drive way and had a marvelous time splishing through them.

I see so many pictures that other people post of their children that are in focus with their sweet child looking at the camera. I have no idea how one accomplishes such a feat. Most of mine turn out like the picture below — stillcute, but slightly blurry because Silas is moving from where he was when the camera focused one second earlier.

In other random Silas news, Satuday we babysat a little girl from church, and naturally she played with Silas’s things while she was here. With Silas looking on, she took out and re-assembled his name puzzle (cut out wooden letters spelling his name.) When she was finished, Silas decided to try it out, and actually got most of the letters into their correct places, something he has never done before! So thanks Katherine for teaching Silas something!
