Shapes

Parker is currently interested in shapes. He's very big on triangles, as well as squares and rectangles. Circles are sort of old news.

In the mornings, for example, if I give him four mini-pancakes for breakfast, he immediately arranges them very carefully in a square. Sometimes after a while he changes them into a rectangle. When he's ready to eat one, he shifts the remaining pancakes into a triangle. He narrates all of this pretty thoroughly, which would be cute if it weren't happening at 5:15am.

The other day he enjoyed a square of peanut butter crackers, which became a triangle, which became two dots. This was unacceptable, so he convinced me to give him two more crackers to make it a square again. Then he got mad at me for taking his picture.
