Geologist in Training

Finley is becoming more and more aware of the world around him and while he has loved digging in sand and dirt for a while now, he recently discovered rocks. Little does Finley know that his Mommy was a serious rock and mineral collector back in her Texan days and even now, there are boxes marked "rocks, heavy" at Grammy and Granddad's house in Virginia just waiting to be moved out.

Despite my requests to get in the car the other day, Finley found some nice rocks right at his level in Lexington Center. He would grab one and place it on the rock wall and then go back for more.
A couple times he came across a stick...
...but after careful examination, he tossed it aside to continue on his rock hunt.
Aha!
"Two, two" he is saying! Two rocks! No, he can't count but I'm pretty sure he thinks anything more than one is two :) A geologist and possibly a mathematician? Awesome!
