Muddy Motivation

It's Joshua's naptime, so I have a chance to do some reading. Here's a blog I found today that is full of ideas. He loves playing outside, as do I. The past couple of days have been wet, not necessarily stormy, just wet. Therefore, I haven't let him play outside, frankly, because I've been too lazy to clean up his muddy hands, legs, feet, and possibly face to come back inside. Here's a post that motivates me to go ahead and let him get muddy, even if he is still crawling around in it instead of walking.

Disclaimer: I have NO idea if this information is accurate, I just like playing outside and this provides some motivation to keep playing. ;)
