We have two bird feeders right in front of our kitchen table where we can watch the birdies eat while we do the same. Caleb has decided that filling the bird feeders is just as much fun as watching the birds. He usually says something like "Birds" or "Feed" when we walk past the bag of bird seed. Mommy let him help earlier this week...
Here's how the process went: Mommy begins to tip the bag of bird seed to pour it into the feeders; Caleb sticks his hand under the bird seed just before Mommy pours it out, causing the bird seed to go flying everywhere (except the place where it is supped to go - the bird feeder).
Caleb acts surprised when Mommy informs him that the bird seed must actually go into the bird feeder. "What, you're not supposed to pour all of the seeds on the ground?"
Caleb decides he will put all of the fallen seeds into the bird feeder by hand...one at a time.
Mommy gets tired of waiting and proceeds to fill the bird feeder (via the conventional method) and puts the feeders back. Caleb proceeds to put the fallen seeds back in the bag...one at a time.
Caleb decides that feeding the birds - err, squirrels - is fun. The squirrels decide that they prefer Caleb over Mommy.
