Fishing

As anyone who has seen Clay in the last 6 months knows, he is obsessed with catching living creatures. Some of his favorites are bees, water beetles, worms, and crabs. The other day he actually managed to catch a bird in his net, much to his delight. Today he was in fine form at the duck ponds on Granville Island, and he caught over 30 little fish in his net. As the photo shows, he was the star of the show, and he loved the attention of the many older kids who gathered around to watch him catching fish and play with his bucket of fish. I tried to ignore the dirty looks of other moms who apparently didn't approve of me letting my kid wade in the poop-filled pond.
