Oh, the joy

This week, Alex discovered mud puddles. Tragically, I didn't have my camera to capture the transition from hesitant curiosity (sploosh?) to unbridled glee (stomp stomp! splash splash!). He kept on stomping and splashing until all the water had splahed out, getting muddier and muddier, and saying, "feet cold!" between giggles. There's no shortage of dirt and rain in Seattle, so I'm sure there are many years of joyous, muddy play days ahead. (I might even remember my camera for some of them.)
