Nutritional benefits of four-leaf-clovers?

On a walk this week, we decided to plop down on Wheaton College's lush lawn to hang out for a bit and also to keep helping Dane become accustomed to touching grass. It seems to be confusing for him, and most of the time, he just sits where we've placed him, unwilling to touch more of it than necessary. His reaction on our stop was no different than normal, but this time, when handed a four-leaf-clover, he decided to get something out of the moment, and popped it in his mouth. Probably to see if they were good for him. This is following the line of thinking that managed to get a heart button, a piece of a business card, a seed pod, and most recently a lady bug swiped out of his mouth. Most of the time, I come out the victor in those cases, but as he's getting stronger, I've sometimes lost. At least it wasn't with the lady bug...

Anyway, we had a good time making him laugh and seeing him observe the world around him. He has such a goofy streak, and we continue to enjoy trying to capture those happy moments on film (or at least in pixels) for the years to come.
Can you just hear the shriek emanating from him? And notice the clover...
Sharing his find.
Tasting his find.
Deciding it wasn't that great.
But Dad is definitely hilarious.
Trying it again, this time with a mouthful of clover...
Oh yeah, that hit the spot:)



Mark, why are we giving him ANOTHER clover?
Don't make me touch the grass!
Much happier with the barrier of mom and future sibling in place.
