Little Pockets

As I as was putting laundry in the washer tonight, I noticed Christian's pants were a lot heavier than they should be. Sure enough, upon checking his pockets, I was surprised amused at all the stuff I began to pull out.

Spare change, rubber bands, keys, and two sets of mini cymbals. Apparently, I need to make checking pockets a habit now for him. I think just about every mom I know could probably tell me some pretty funny stories of what they have pulled out of their own son's pockets. And here, all I ever pull out of my pockets is lint and the occasional dollar bill!

What was going through his head as he was choosing these random items to put in his pockets?. I love watching children when they don't know they're being watched. You can almost see the wheels turning in their head as they play and it is such a joy to see those moments.

What kind of things have you pulled out of your child's pockets?

I would love to hear about them!
