Sticks and Stones

Sticks and Stones that's what little boys are made of right? Daniel has been obsessed with sticks for a while now. He can find a stick anywhere and has to bring it home. Big, small (and I mean itsy bitsy) they all have to come, be it at the grocery store, garden, therapy he will find it. I've been trying to get him to keep them outside, it all came to a head when I found sticks in my bed. Located behind him you will see a box that his therapist helped him decorate for his sticks. She told him the rule was that the sticks all had to go in the box and if it gets filled up he has to get rid of some before he put any more in. So far it seems to be helping some. But this boy LOVES his sticks. To him they are everything imaginable too. Pirate ships, guns (of course), bows and arrows and who know what all else.
