What Lincoln loves most about nature is finding little treasures—sticks, leaves, rocks and turning them into something magical. He’s so curious, always asking questions and wanting to know more. One minute he’s picking up a stick, and the next he’s pretending it’s a wand and casting spells. His imagination is incredible, and watching him turn the outdoors into his own storybook world is one of my favorite things.
One of Lincoln’s most favorite animals is the octopus. He’s fascinated by how they can navigate through tight spaces, escape predators, and adapt to their environment with incredible intelligence. He especially loves learning how they eat, communicate, and interact with the world. His absolute favorite stuffed animal is an octopus named Trini Copa, and he proudly tells everyone it’s a yellow blue-ringed octopus.
Lincoln loves to explore no matter where we are; on a trail, at the park, but his absolute favorite outdoor activity involves water. He could live in it! He loves swimming at the community pool, jumping in puddles, making mudslides and mud pies, even creating little rivers in the yard. The beach is his happy place, and he never passes up a chance to splash in the waves. If there’s water nearby, you can bet Lincoln’s already in it.
