Today Jonas did a lot of dirty (but cute) things, which I laughed and attempted to capture on film. We recently got brandon's old cell phone out of hibernation and started plugging it in so that Jonas has a "real working phone" to play with. He much prefers the light-up version to the red plastic version. Anyway, he was walking around the house with his phone making happy baby sounds and he went into the bathroom, so I followed. I turned my head for one second, and BAM! phone in the toilet! The toilet lid is so rarely open that I didn't even think about it. Of course, he leaned all the way in to grab it out, making the whole thing that much more awesome. In conclusion, Jonas had his first experience with a thorough-soap-and-warm-water hand watching shortly thereafter.
So I made some no-bake cookies for cell that went amiss and never hardened, they are just these sticky masses sitting on our table. Still yummy though... anyway, needed to preface that... After Jonas's nap, I was doing something in the kitchen, and Jonas noticed me grab a crumb of no-bake cookie off the table and eat it. Unbeknownst to me he decided to investigate. I forget how much taller he is... by the time I figured out what he was about, he already had sticky cookie goodness in his mouth and was going "MmmMMMMMM!!!" Very enthusiastically. Well, it was too late at that point, so I grabbed the video camera and still camera and took some pictures while he attempted to eat another couple of bites of cookie. Sigh... poor boy, he was so upset when I cleaned him off, but at that point his clothes were totally messed up, sooo....
Since it has been rainy and crappy weather the past week or so, Jonas has been mostly stuck inside, but since it at least wasn't raining for about 3 hours today, and was not terribly cold, I took Jonas out for a minute or 10 since I had given up on him being clean. He went immediately to the muddiest puddle he could find and proceeded to see all the ways he could splash in it. Oh well, he had a big time splashing in the muddy puddle. Brandon came out and watched him so I could do some work, and he said he took Jonas to the biggest puddle in our complex to play in, but since it wasn't muddy he didn't care so much. He stood in it with water up to his ankles (and just fyi he was wearing lo-top knockoff chucks, not water shoes!) and then sat down and looked sad... so they went and found a muddy puddle and he was happy.
Jonas got 2 baths today, and he got to run around in just a diaper the last part of the day... I would say this day went well, to very well for him, and we enjoyed it too, even though it was very messy!

Excellent! That's my kind of parenting! My neighbors used to complain that I'd let Brandon play in the mud and water in the run off drain running between the yards in our military housing. They'd have their kids sitting on the steps of the building watching him play, cuz they didn't want their kids to get dirty. And he had a blast! Explore, young boy. There is so much out there to discover!! :) Grandma
