First time for everything

Tonight Rocklin had a couple of firsts...a Popsicle that I let him eat all by himself and running free in the backyard and eating dirt without me stopping him. My Mom insisted that I let him be a little boy and just get dirty, so I just let him at it. We don't have a backyard at our place in Arizona, or big green trees for that matter, so Rocklin was in his glory. And, as you can tell from the pictures, he LOVED the Popsicle!

I'm sure you're glad you did it. Some messes are worth it!

I bet you were dying to wipe his little face and hands! I try not to be too anal about it with Tyler, but it's tough! I'm glad Rocklin got to experience some GA dirt while he was here. He's such cutie!

I'm slowly learning to let Elizabeth run on her own and get dirty. It's hard...I feel ya! Glad he enjoyed it!

Isn't it liberating to just let them get filthy every once in awhile?! He sure is a handsome little whirlwind, clean or dirty!

You're a great mom, Kristen! I've already started having nightmares about the messes Connor will make... :S

Got love orange syrup mixed with a little Georgia clay! Reminds me of when Caralie ate some sand at the beach. Seeing all that GREEN in your photos is killing me!
