Pocket Obsession

Joshua is currently obsessed with putting things in his pocket. Now, whenever I get him dressed for the day, he asks for pockets. When he doesn't have pockets on, he stuffs things in his socks. When he comes in from outside, I have to check his pockets - they usually have rocks, leaves, trash, and other miscellaneous items (a walnut shell, a piece of burnt wood, etc.). The other day when we were garage-saling, I had given the boys some fruit snacks to eat. When we got Josh out of his car seat, we noticed a big purplish stain on his pants pocket. He had taken his partially chewed fruit snacks and stuffed them in his pocket, producing a big sticky mess. Luckily my mother is the queen of stain removal (thanks Mom!) and she got it all out.

Here is a picture of my pocket-stuffing child:

And you wouldn't know it to look at the picture, but these were the exact contents of his right pocket at the time the above picture was taken:

Pretty impressive, eh? I love my quirky little guy...
