Stone Soup

I love the toddler imagination. It's so sweet and spontaneous. Today, I heard Natalie open up the silverware drawer (ours is ridiculously low and within her reach so she helps herself to silverware all the time)and wondered what she was up to. I turned the corner to find her sitting on the stairs with a plastic cup filled with rocks, feeding herself (and her baby) some good old fashioned stone soup. She'd taste a bite and then say, "yum, yum" and pretend to chew it before she would dig in for some more.
