Josh and Sand

We went to the Res today, a local swimming hole with a sandy beach. He was entranced. He kept digging his hands and feet into the sand then looking up at me and smiling, as if to say "Thanks Mom, this is great!" He crawled all over the place, including all the way into the water. He would have kept on going if I hadn't been stopping him. It seemed important only to me that he be able to keep breathing and keep his head above water. He did eat a handful of sand, but only once. He is a smart boy and knows yucky stuff when he tastes it. He loved to watch Samantha cavort in the water with a friend. He'd smile and smack the water with glee whenever Sam came over to say hello. He got tired from all the crawling and fresh air, so I gave him a bottle. He took an hour and a half nap in the stroller. A very long nap for him. The clouds got really thick and dark, so we left, just before the rain squall hit.

What a lovely day.
