This will come to no surpise to anyone (including my kids when they grow up), but I hate dirt, bugs, mud, and the feeling of dirt and sweat. Yes, I like the outdoors, but in more of a manicured way. Well, Ellie has always played well with my need for being clean, but Max isn't going to prove as well kept (so to speak).
I'm not very good about just letting the kids go outside and play. I hover over and try to avoid dirt, mud, bugs, falls, puddles, and all those things that make mess. A few times a year, I give in and let them play. I did this for about an hour today. It was hard, but I know they enjoy it.
My solution - straight to the bath before lunch! Oh well, at least he got to play in the yard and crawl around and roll on the ground and fall in a puddle and even attempt to eat chalk (YUCK!)
