Splish Splash Joe's having a BLAST

Yep it's all about splashing these days.  In the puddles, in his sandbox that has become a pond with all the rain... anywhere he can find half an inch of water he's jumping in it and making a splash.  We just got him some new rain boots and he wants to wear them all the time.  I think he believes if he has them on then it will rain.

We spent two hours playing in the backyard the other day... well me reading, and him playing.  He played with his boats, trucks, spiderman... all in his sandbox which now has a layer of sand covered by about four inches of water.  He had a blast and got totally soaked with sandy water in the process.  When he started to shiver from the cold, I had to strip him down, empty his boots of water and throw his naked little behind in the shower to rinse all the sand away and warm him up again.

It was a lot of fun watching him get so much enjoyment out of making a mess and playing in the water.
