Stopping to smell the dirt

[siercia]

Today when we were raking leaves, Widget insisted that I lie down and roll with her. Boy, did I not want to, since it's been rainy and everything's still damp. But she was insistent, and so I did it. Laid down in the damp grass and rolled.

And wow, was it fun. I'd forgotten how much fun just rolling is. And we were laughing, and crashing into each other, and being silly. I stopped for a second and just breathed. A huge giant sniff full of the wonderful smell of grass and earth and outside.

Some days, having a two year old is just good for your soul.

yeah, and then she poops on the floor ;)

I do adore this age... my fave thus far! Once five hits, it's all over until they're grown, MWAH!
