Ducks

When we lived in Moose Jaw last fall, the boys and I would go walking in Crescent Park. A lovely park that has a creek/pond sort of thing running through it. Which is home to a variety of waterfowl. My then 2 1/2 year old was fascinated by the ducks. Especially ducks that would put their heads under water to look for food. Why, you ask? Because when a duck's head goes under, its butt goes up. Nothing was funnier to a 2 1/2 year old than that. Ever since then he has tried to mimic them.

Head down, butt up and if you are really good, both feet in the air. He usually settles for putting just one foot up in the air.

This has apparently been observed enough times by the younger brother that he, too, tries to be a duck. With not quite the same amount of success...

And a little less patience for doing it repeatedly.

But don't kid yourself. It's just a matter of time.
