Shell and Rock Collection

Wednesday, July 25, 2007

Nicholas has a nice collection of shells and rocks. I gave him a lot of big shells when he was very young. We would sit together and look at each shell. I would talk aout the color of a shell then I'd point out whether it is smooth or rough, large or small, etc. Over time, he has collected more shells at the beach and rocks from nature walks plus he has been given some other neat rocks from other people. He had a very eclectic collection. But I love it that he still picks out the big shells that I gave him and he now enjoys telling me about each one and comparing them to the other shells. Here he is telling me that this shell is smooth and he contrasts it to the white one on the table that he describes as "spiky".
