There are just some days when you feel like you have got this parenting thing
DOWN. Saturday was one of those days.
We walked down to the neighborhood
swing set to play on the slide and the swings. We threw rocks. We planted
flowers. We played in the dirt. We blew bubbles. We read books. We chased each
other around the house. We finger painted. We sat out in the sun and played with
leaves. We did all kinds of other fun things. The TV was not turned on even once
and the windows were open all day. Best of all, Micah was so filthy by dinner
time that I had to strip him down to eat dinner in only his diaper. That
is the sign of a child who has had a fantastic time. And at the end of the day,
when the happy, exhausted baby was tucked away into his bed, Todd and I sat out
on the back porch together and watched the sun go down.
It was a perfect
day.
