I gave the kids carrot sticks for a snack today. It was Afton's first carrot stick, so I didn't expect her to eat it really. She just chewed on it for a while and carried it around.
We went outside, and she started playing in the dirt. She was drawing in the dirt with a stick, then switched to using her carrot to draw with. Then she put the carrot back in her mouth. Repeatedly.
I guess dirt is the new Ranch.
