Bathtime

Today I finally got around to giving Dylan a bath. He was quiet the whole time, looking at himself in the mirror. Gina was quite excited to watch the whole process.

Earlier in the day the kids had fun in the backyard. They wanted to play with the Tonka trucks that we got from Judy yesterday. That lasted a very short time. Then Gina started digging holes with her shovel and Andrew rode around the yard on his car.

When I wasn't paying attention, Andrew turned on the hose and created a nice big mud puddle in the middle of the yard. Then they really started having fun, jumping in the mud and getting very dirty. Andrew spent most of his time sitting on his car in the middle of the mud puddle.

I'm always ambivalent about letting the kids play in the mud. On one hand, they have a great time getting completely muddy. On the other hand, it is always a big job getting them cleaned up afterwards.
