Sometimes it’s fun to just let the boys get messy. Muddy. Sandy. Dirty. Or finger painty! The other night after dinner Elias said he wanted to do some finger painting. We had just finished cleaning up after dinner so I didn’t feel much like having another huge mess. But sometimes you just have to embrace the moment and worry about clean up later! The boys had a blast.
Kimberly, Embrace the messiness of sons while they are small. You and N. had a tidy home before children and in 18 or so years you will have a very tidy home again — or at least the ability to have it tidy. The time in between is so precious and goes so quickly.
