K has been often taken to the dog park a few blocks from our house by his nanny. She says, "He loves the dogs and they love him." So I thought I would use her strategy of giving him a good workout, a good meal, and then a good nap.
He walked a good bit of the way to the park, discovering nasturtium seed pods on the way. I could tell he really wanted to eat one, but did not put one in his mouth. Finally, he pushed one toward my mouth. I shook my head and that settled the question for him.
When we finally made it to the park, we found some shaggy parasols growing in a far corner. I picked a few mature specimens, and K was clearly very excited about them. Then we found a couple just sprouting up. I picked one and K eagerly grabbed the other. I fried them up with some tofu and peas for dinner.
