helicopters

We've had a ton of helocopters on our front sidewalk this spring....but they have been the tiniest ones I've ever seen.......I'm not sure if they were that tiny in previous years.....Cubby would collect them and pile them up.....but the other day on our way out of the Nail Shack he noticed these HUGE ones........they were actuallly the "normal" size ones ....but he had never seen them that big!......I threw one up in the air and he saw how it came down as a "helicopter"......he yelled "awesome" and threw his up!!!!......apparently he had never seen this!!!!!!.....I stopped and watched and felt a little sad.....was I supposed to have shown him this a long time ago????.....I can't remember never knowing this is what they did!!!....but to see him loving it for the very first time was special!!!......there are a lot of "firsts" , and this one isn't really marked in their baby book....but I will remember it always!!!....we collected handfuls of them to take home...and dropped them off our deck.......even better!!!!......when we dropped the last bunch he said..." you know what that means.....we have to go back to the Nail Shack and get more!!!"......so girls if you see us out there bending over picking them all up, just smile!!
