Day 141-Bird's Nest

Tate loves birds. He spends most mornings in the backyard listening to them and watching them fly here and there. His biggest goal in life right now is to catch a bird. He's tried various ways of catching them-dressing up like a bird so that they won't be scared of him, tempting them with small pieces of bread, and putting pictures of birds in the backyard are some that come to mind.

Tate's been asking me for several weeks to help him make a bird's nest... Well today has been such a lovely day outside, so I figured that I could "handle" being outside this afternoon and help him build a nest. He was so happy with the way it turned out. When we were finished he said, "Now a bird can come live in this nest and then I'll catch it". I really don't think he's going to quit trying until he catches his bird!
