As always, click to enlarge photos!
One warm day last Autumn, I dumped out some planters that had very dry dirt in them on the back patio. Rey wanted to play with some mud, so we took the hose and made some. Soon, he began smearing mud all over himself.
He continued this proccess until he was well and completely covered with dirt.
Once well coated, he removed all his clothing and covered the rest of his body. Those photos have not been posted, for obvious reasons.
He was so proud, standing there smiling and wearing nothing but a thick layer of dried mud like a prehistoric hunter after some eels or something. Of course, his enthusiasm waned slightly when faced with the prospect of being hosed off. But, truly, even that failed to greatly dampen his spirit of accomplishment.
