It reminded me that boys, big and little, thrive on adventure. They need to take risks, get dirty, work with their hands, fall down and get back up-- it's part of becoming and being a man. Us city folk tend to forget this.
So when Hudson asked if he could run through the puddle in front of our house and I said "no", I had to stop and remind myself of these things. When did I get so unadventurous? (I guess I forgot about this post)."Actually, yeah, you can run through the puddle. Just go change your clothes first." ; )
Did the boys get dirty? So dirty.
Were there injuries? A pretty good bump on the head.
Did they love it? Of course.
Will we do it again? You bet!Arian : )
I feel like this is one of those things I constantly need to remind myself of! There is a book we got out of the library called "Yes Day!". It was such a reminder of all the things I need to just say yes too! We have talked about having a yes day soon-the kids are already scheming. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Arian,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find your email so I am leaving you a comment!
I am wondering if you do freelance work?
I have a website http://www.mojuproject.com and I am looking to revamp our image.
Your style and love for the Lord is in line with what I am looking for!
Let me know :)
I have to say what this post did for me. I just started reading your blog (via evies interview) and now I really look forward to all your posts. After I read your thoughts about getting dirty, being childlike etc. I literally took my son to the park (he's almost 2) and he played in the mud, rain puddles and had a total blast! Thank you for sharing.
