Isn't it an amazing feeling to discover something new? Especially when you realize it's something you really like? I guess babies and toddlers experience the new fascination of discovery just about every day. Kirsten sure found a new one last week! We went again to the great beach only 5 minutes away from my house.
It was low tide, so there was a lot of shoreline to explore.

Kirsten used to be SO squeamish about getting dirty. She never wanted to touch dirt or anything like it. THIS time, she discovered that rocks are REALLY cool!
She kept bending over to pick up the rocks, turning each one over and I had to keep an eye on her so she wouldn't stick them in her mouth and suck on them.
After a little while she gave up the squatting and bending over and just plopped right down on the wet sand. She sat there for the longest time, playing with the rocks and wet sand. She was happy! And she got dirtier than she ever has before and didn't even care!
I finally had to drag her away from the rocks. She had a great time at the beach!
What a great day!! Kirsten is just too cute. That's so great that she learned to get a little dirty and enjoy things. Good life lesson.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Now you are in store for a load of trouble since she doesn't mind getting dirty! Rachel is notorious for that! We should go to the beach together when you are done here. It would be super fun. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment on my blog! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteCute pictures! Glad she's learning to like dirt. Remember making mud pies? My sister and I used to make them on the banks of the little creek that ran behind our house. I think about playing in that creek now and...ew. :)

ReplyDeleteIt is so funny because my three year old boy hates getting dirty but my 1 year old girl loves playing in the dirt and sand and getting dirty.
