Dirt is also therapy.
It’s amazing how good a few hours in the dirt with babies can be for your heart. I got dinner time, play time, and bath time tonight. I adore being Aunt Dade (We haven’t found the J yet, haha) I get to be fun and have secret food fights while Mommy sits in the other room talking about diet pill reviews for this summer and doctor visits. Of course, I also have to clean up those secret food fights before Mommy sees it, but it’s worth all the giggles!
Just watching their little imaginations is made of awesome! It’s especially adorable to watch them when they actually play together. Jesalyn ‘cooks’ in the dirt and Joshua picks out pretty leaves to put in her pots and pans. Sweetness.
Of course it always has to end but I guess since they just saw me last weekend they think I’ll be back really soon (they might be right, addictive little buggers) so instead of flipping out like we thought they would, I just got tons of hugs and waves and ‘bye bye’ and ‘be careful’ and ‘come back soon’….Nana Pam (my mom) was playing dirty and trying to get me back to town sooner! lol It probably worked ;)
I had to really think about this when BJ and I got married, and there are all kinds of marriage license issues with weddings overseas. IE. to get married in paris you have to have lived there for a full year. I think if she really has her heart set on italy, maybe it could just be her and the hubby, then when they come back to the states after a fabulously long honeymoon, visit a justice of the peace to make it legal here, and throw a reception locally for all the friends and family to come congratulate them, and so they can admire all the lovely pictures!
