I love it when Gwen loves the beach at the lake. Running straight for the water so that I had to quickly snatch her up before a dive-- she was FEARLESS! I am proud of her confidence getting in the water and articulation when she then asks me to help her "es-swimming, es-swimming!" (it sounds like 'It's swimming') with all her excitement. 
I love it when Gwen wants to help water the garden... one lil tupperware at a time, each time coming back to me and the water bucket with a loud squeal and empty tupperware held overhead! And, to be perfectly honest about things, I don't mind when she purposefully dumps the tupperware on herself and laughs about it.
Do I love it when she wants to:
play in the rain? Yes. I suppose I do.
play in the mud puddles? Not so much. But once the clothes are dirty and the damage is done, I guess I do enjoy seeing her so happy, almost naked, and VERY dirty! 
before and after
Oh goodness what a mess of fun! I love it. Looks like she does too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good mom you are to let your kid get dirty. Looks like she has tons of fun!
ReplyDeletelol so cute! That's what I hope I'm able to do: let Caleb get dirty if it means he's having fun. haha so good!
ReplyDeleteShe is one little water baby!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how you let Gwen explore and be adventurous - even when it involves getting so dirty! A girl after my own heart ...
ReplyDeleteA girl after my own heart, as well :) My mom finally gave up dressing me for a while when I was a little girl! I think you're an incredible mother, Elisa. I love how many opportunities you provide Gwen with, whether it be swimming lessons or adventures to the zoo! How fun is life?!!!!
