I'm not sure if this is normal for little boys or not, but Nolan REALLY likes carrying around things that are pole-like (recall the post from a few months ago about him carrying around the table leg?). I can't really figure out why he likes these things - He doesn't really do much with them other than wave them around in the air and accidentally smack Boomer in the head with them (it wouldn't surprise me if Boomer ended up with a concussion because of that boy). It's kind of funny when he tries to bring these pole-like objects into another room and can't figure out how why they won't fit horizontally through a door. He gets so frustrated! But anyway, here are just a few of the pole-like things he's found to carry around this past week:
(a long handle that attaches to paint rollers or shop brooms)
(a water wand for the garden - in case you are wondering, this does not normally stay in our laundry room. Nolan found it outside and brought it in a while back so it has just been living in there for now)
(a mop and a broom from the garage)
(another broom from the garage)
(a mop from the bathroom and a golf club)
This is only a glimpse of the things Nolan has gotten ahold of. I can't even count how many times I have seen him appear in a room with the broom in his hand. Tonight he even tried bringing the broom in the bath tub with him. We try to baby proof our house. We really do! The toilet plunger now stays on top of the dresser in our bedroom because it's the only place high enough that Nolan couldn't reach it or climb on something to get to it. Is it normal for children to enjoy these things this much? If only I could get him to use them properly. Then we'd be in business!
