The best thing to play in is...DIRT!--Sept. 13, 2011

To put it simply, I think we need a sandbox.  When Oliver was Eli's age, we were living in our duplex and we had a nice little area of dirt for Oliver to dig in, play in, etc.  We really don't have anywhere like that now, so Eli has started to dig in one of my empty flower boxes.  Oliver even joined him at one point!
