'The world is mud-luscious and puddle wonderful.' -E.E. Cummings
This quote completely sums up my little boy.
He LOVES being outside and is always gathering his shoes and requesting to go out. We have spend loads of time in the garden and he loves it! He wants to help me, a little too much. He carries around his little rake and sticks digging at the dirt and pushing the cat down. A man loves to bring you the smallest speck of dirt and will continue to give you more small specks, just because.
August is so attracted to puddles. He loves his mud boots and has spent quite a bit of time belly-flopping after the rain. And he gets in there quick as a whistle! He then shoots that little grin filled with so much joy that it erases the fact that I just washed his white Nike shoes the day before and they are full of mud again.
And then there are meal times. Spaghetti is the funniest to watch. He INHALES that meal and very quickly requests for more. That is definitely a no shirt required, followed by a bath type of night.
When we get up in the morning he gets changed right away and then I head into the kitchen to get breakfast ready. Sometimes he joins me and other times I go to get him when its time to eat. He very likely has almost every toy in his toy box out all over the floor. It's oftentimes like a minefield in our living room.
This little boy has brought me so much joy and added so much purpose to my life, messes and all.
