His first stop is Saffie the horse
Then maybe a little rest
Then the searching begins....
it can take a while to find the perfect rock
Finally.....
Off he goes, carrying it proudly aloft
To show his friends, the cows. He shouts them from the fence, "Cow! Look! Cow!"
Today they are too pre-occupied to say hello, he is a little dissapointed
So he throws the stone into the field, for them to see later
and hat in hand, home he goes
Collecting a little something for his sister on his way
I am merely a casual observer on these walks, carrier of discarded hats and occasional hand holder. He leads the way, chooses the route, and decides when it is time to leave. My little explorer, and friendly one, he does love those cows so.
Utterly adorable!
ReplyDeleteAnother cow-whisperer in the making :-)
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet and lovely - the searching, the searching - I remember it well. Lovely sentiments
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo darling...oh to be young like that again..no cares in the world..eveything is fresh and new! Pure joy. xoxo
ReplyDeletethese walks of yours, with your little ones, so sweet. oh, i miss my little ones, now i've got middle ones, & they're swell, but those times of first discoveries are so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi sweetie. I love this post (and the one before it). Your children are beautiful - and obvously very loved. Thank you for sharing one of Bear's walks with us - he looks happy and content. Dot xx
ReplyDeleteAawww how very lovely is your little chap, too gorgeous for words. Thanks for your fab commnet about my dying, really appreciate any help I can get to make the process a success xox Penelope
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little fellow, that Bear is! I adore him and his big personality! What a fun day.

A beautifully illustrated story. It is wonderful that you have posted these stories...because your children will enjoy looking at them a year or so from now.
ReplyDeleteAnd we love them now. Makes me miss my own babes.
oh he is way too cute....I want to kiss him and cuddle too. I used to have a cute one just like that. Now he is 6ft 2 and very hairy!
ReplyDeletehaha this really tickled me, it seems so odd to think I will one day have a hairy bear!
DeleteOh my goodness, this gave me chills -- so sweet and soooo familiar. Your little guy reminds me of my Jackson (now 18), when he was wee; also Frida (so much closer in age to your honey), who dons witch hats (and viking hats and super hero capes) on a regular basis. You have really caught something beautiful here -- thank you!!
ReplyDeleteso, so cute... makes me miss those early, rock-collecting, exploring years!
ReplyDeletehey, i got your stones, i can't seem to contact you with the email I have from you.
ReplyDeleteI just loved this post..it brought back such sweet memories of my son Matt...31...he loved going on adventures...time passes so quickly....
ReplyDeleteSo so sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou are privileged to be able to follow his lead...those moments are fleeting and so precious.
ReplyDeleteLove the lil' Bear! He is so precious! What a fun little excursion! love the picture of him pouting.

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful post. I just adored it. Thanks for sharing your little guy and his big adventures with us!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love this sweet post. You could print it out and make a mini book for him, he will love it when he's older. My two are 14 and ten and still love stories about what they got up to when they were younger.
ReplyDeleteLoved your photos and story lines - you could make children's books out of this - not just your children, but many others would love following their adventures with the cows, horses, etc.
