someone loves stickers

this 'someone' is the shortest person in the home - our scoutie.

sometime in the past few months he has found a new obsession - stickers!
any kind will do, but he especially loves the alphabet and numbers
since he's learned to recognize them all over the last 6 months.
i can't take credit for it - i thank christi and st. andrews for their working with him.

his auntie jen has aided in this obsession by purchasing him a sticker book for christmas.
this activity would be perfect except he can't get the stickers off by himself - at least not yet,
so it's not completely independent play. soon i hope.

i've learned one way to squeeze as much time as i can when he's engaged in this activity
so i can get dinner on the table after work. i peel off about 50 stickers and put them on
the edge of the kitchen table where he's sitting so he can grab them easily.

then i give him a stack of plain paper and this will keep him quiet a good 30 minutes
until his stickers run out and he asks for "help mommy".

he will literally sit at the table with stickers for over an hour if i keep feeding his supply.
well see yourself:
