Hey buddy! I like your big stick!

This morning, my boy officially expanded his stick horizon to branch out to find big sticks with Christmas leaves.  It is getting harder and harder to find such things, but we will prevail!  He has established quite the following in the neighborhood.  Our regular passerbyers congratulate him on his new finds every single day.  And then there's the moms and dads who have the same route at the same time, who honk at him.  He feels kind of famous in the morning and he really likes it.  I think my favorite is when people yell, "Hey buddy!  I like your big stick!"  One day, he will be so proud.

How could you NOT be so completely madly in love with a little nugget who makes things like this everyday?  I'd take one off the fridge, but I don't want to mess up her paper.... or get chastised.
