back in the sandbox

Anna loves her sandbox. She especially likes to play with gravel in the sandbox. She makes food for me to eat. Today the gravel was "strawberries." She also made me "milk" -- sand in a cup.

Anita -- a girl Marta's age who lives up the street -- stopped by and played with us. Anita also made me sand food. She prepared chopped meat and boiled potatoes and offered me tea to drink.

Anna followed me all over the backyard. She even sat and played quietly while I hung the laundry. She insists that I also sit in the sandbox with her, even though there is a nice swing a few feet away. It occurred to me today while watching Anna in the sandbox that I had been in one before. I used to sit in the sandbox every day when I was a little boy. Here's another photo of our sandbox girl and "dinner" ...

I made sure to "eat" all the food she gave me.
