Small stones: Toddler in the wash basket

I pull my toddler in his wash basket boat with a dressing gown belt as a rope. Up the hallway, around the living room, I follow his command. We collect things on the way, teddy bears to ride along and cars and dinosaurs. He is my youngest child and still fits in a wash basket, not for long. This is the moment.

I have enjoyed reading all of your small stone posts, but this one tugs at my heart strings as my youngest is just a little older. We have to cling to these things for as long as we can, don’t we? xx

Love this alison my little fella does this rolling around, hiding in it, prentending he is a ghost in it..very funny, kids are so inventive and very funny. I agree with Rebecca here..cherish the time with them.

I’ve just found you whilst out collecting stones! I love yours, especially the tipping point of the raindrop. 😀

I vividly remember these moments – I think my children do, too. Collect them now for the future.
