i know this is picture overload, but it's so hard to just pick a few when you took at least a thousand.
it has been such a hot summer, and being pregnant makes it hard for me to want to frolic outside with arthur. arthur loves outside. it makes me feel so lousy when i have to bribe him to come inside with movies, when all he wants to do is play outside. its hard to be a good mom sometimes.
yesterday, it rained. a good, warm, summer rain. my inner child came charging out (i'm talking about my real inner child, not this demon child that is actually inside me) and i grabbed my camera and some gummy worms and ran outside with arthur. it was so perfect. i'm sad that chubbs wasn't there to share the moment with us because it's something i'll never forget.
(truthfully, i probably will, but then i'll see these pictures and it'll all come back. hopefully.)
i'm usually a psycho mom and try to keep arthur really clean. sometimes that prevents him from having fun. sometimes i feel bad, but most of the time i'm just happy that he's pretty clean. it makes life easier a lot of the time.
yesterday, i was a better mom.
he splashed in every puddle, and layed in at least half of them.
and i didn't even care one bit. we were having the best time.
it makes me a little bit sad that it's something he probably won't remember.
at least he'll have pictures to prove that we had fun sometimes....
