  The Park

The trip to the park was great. A perfect day. Its 68 degrees with a nice breeze blowing. I have determined the kota can befriend anyway. He had kids younger than him, his age, and older than him. The older kids thought he was hysterical. I watched him for a while then took out my book to read, occasionally looking up to check on him. what I did find funny is the different types of moms. I was in jeans and a tee shirt. I have no problem with kota getting dirty, he had on play clothes, sweatpants and tee shirt. Most of the moms there were what I call yuppies. They were in the lastest spring fashions. their kids had clothes on the matched and looked brand new. they were the kids constantly getting told not to get dirty. I had to chuckle. Why take the kids to a playground if they aren't allowed to get dirty? They have a trail at this park, through the woods and over a creek. We love the creek. We walked down there and just watched the water rippling by. Kota asked if there were any crocs.  I told him Delaware doesn't have crocs.


All that fresh air has really tuckered me out! Can I take a nap now?

Yes you can take a nap, dream about these great moments you have by the creek. The enrich the soul and give you a sense of well being

it is such a peaceful place, sitting by the creek and hearing the sounds of nature. I wish I had creek running through my yard!

Sounds like you and Kota had a great time. I agree that a mom shouldn't take their child to a park if they aren't going to let them get dirty. My daughter was so funny when she was little...she always found her way to the dirt and then played in it. There could have been playground equipment to play on, but she seemed to much prefer the dirt. It's good for kids to get dirty every now and again.

I was alot like your daughter. there are so many pictures of me playing in the mud and dirt. I still do with kota now.

I love days like that!

Just curious--how do the other mothers react to Kota getting 'dirty' being a kid???
comment by greatmartin on Mar 26, 2008 6:35 PM ()
they give me funny looks. I just grin at them. little boys are supposed to be dirty!
reply by elkhound on Mar 26, 2008 6:40 PM ()
its natural for kids to get dirty whilst playing. its no fun otherwise. sounds like you and Kota had a great time. He'll remember and cherish these moments long after he's grown with kids of his own.

I am an outdoorsy type anyway, so any excuse to get out it great! I even have sunburn on my forehead. I had my head down reading. kota is my joy, he can cheer me up on my worse days.

awe.. that's too cool... Sounds like a PERFECT day!!!
comment by kristilyn3 on Mar 26, 2008 2:01 PM ()

reply by elkhound on Mar 26, 2008 3:08 PM ()
Fresh air does the same for me!

I think I even got sunburned!

let kids be kids for goodness sakes.
comment by pecan on Mar 26, 2008 1:23 PM ()
that has always been my philosophy! I figure the dirtier they look, the more fun they had!
reply by elkhound on Mar 26, 2008 1:25 PM ()
You are entitled to take a nap there.You are all tuckered out.
