I'm a mud-pie kind of mom, and this is unfortunate for me. I think that making mud-pies is a childhood right of passage and that every kid should be allowed to get really really dirty from time to time. The unfortunate outcome of this strongly held belief is that I end up with a ginormous mess. But if you can't squish a little mud between your toes when your a kid then, really, what's the point? I want my kids to get the chance to enjoy the wonder of wiggly earthworm, and the innocence of a day at the park. We all know life is not so simple, and sometimes there is unexplainable heartache, but for today I can give my kids their childhood - and that is worth a mud lined bathtub, and a stained shirt or two.
