Splish Splash!

                                     

After an afternoon rain shower we can usually be found jumping in the puddles. I always time it to where we go out about half an hour before Landon's bath time. Landon loves to jump in the puddles. He says "pool" for puddles. In fact he calls every body of water a pool, even the ocean.  Landon even got Tink in on the puddle fun.

To get the most out of his jumps Landon would run as fast as he could to the end of the puddles and back again.

Puddle jumping reminds me that the greatest joys in life come from the simplest pleasures. The world would be a much better place if everyone took a minute out of their day to jump in a puddle and remember the simpler days of childhood.

Mud puddle fun!

Landon is definitely ALL boy! Landon and I took Tinkie for a walk today and he started stomping his feet in the puddles. I put his Crocs on him because I knew it was wet outside and didn't want to ruin his other shoes. I sure am glad that I decided to do so. Once Landon realized how much fun it was to jump into the puddles he made a bee line for the mud puddles. I couldn't catch him in time because Tink was tangled around me. Before I knew it Landon was laying down and splashing through the mud. He had a blast. He had so much fun that I allowed him to carry on in the mud for a few minutes. He thought it was the grandest thing to be able to run through the wet and muddy grass. He was completely covered in mud. What made it worse was that Tinkerbell followed behind him and was covered in mud as well. Wherever Landon goes Tink goes and it was no different today. It was quite the site as I tried carrying in a wet and muddy baby toddler along with a wet and muddy Pomeranian. Of course, like any good mother would, I had Landon stand outside soaking wet so I could grab the camera and take pictures of his first mud puddle experience!

Landon's muddy face!

Landon's muddy behind!

Cleaning his face off.

All smiles now that he is clean.
