So, after church yesterday we were walking down the sidewalk into the house and I turned around to see Caleb had decided traipsing through the muddy grass seemed like a much better choice than the sidewalk. I yelled to him to get back on the sidewalk. At the same time Scott came back outside and said, "Oh, it's no big deal. He's a boy and he's having fun in the mud." Well, thinking it would end there, imagine my surprise when I see him dressed in sweats and his snow boots a couple minutes later heading back outside?
Can you tell he's having a great time?
Yep, he discovered it's even more fun to sit in the mud! He actually fell down at first, but soon realized how great it was to sit in the mud. We laughed so hard when he slipped and fell because he was so unsure of what to do next! He kept saying, "Oh, I'm stuck" until we told him to just put his hands in the mud and stand up. :)
I tried to explain to Scott the reason I wasn't so excited about it at first was I (as the mother) just see the clean up and the mess. Well, I'm glad I got over that because he had such a great time! And by the way, Scott gave him a bath and did all the muddy laundry! What a great guy!
