Mmm-Mmm Good

Yesterday, Little Mister had his first experience with wet, soft, warm mud, the ooey gooey kind. He loved how it felt in his little chubby fingers. He liked how it felt under his feet. He was very curious about the dark brown goodness and I let him play to his heart's content. When the inevitable occurred, a tiny little taste, I gasped and then shrugged my shoulders. I suppose, what is a little dirt? I thoroughly enjoyed watching him explore his newfound love.

I grabbed the camera and quickly took some shots early on. I love how the camera can capture a story.

"I'm In Love With Mud"

I'm in love with mud,
It's sad, I know, but true.
I just can't help but splash in it,
Or stomp a path right through.

It's sticky and it's dirty,
And it covers all my clothes.
But when I see it lying there,
A voice inside me grows...

...You can't resist, you know I'm right,
It's fun to play in mud!
Look at it just sitting there,
I really think you should!

I splatter in the grimy gloop,
I can't resist the ooze!
I run, I jump, I stamp about,
It drips into my shoes!
