.....mud is good for your skin!!!! Really? Is that why you felt the need to go and slather yourself in it? Of course! Why not? If it's there.....use it! That is Kadin's philosophy in life. One that has gotten him in trouble too many times to count!
I felt a little bit contradictory taking these pics. I did get him in trouble for disobeying me, then, because I just couldn't resist, I hauled the camera out. I think that may have sent him a mixed message. Especially when he called after me, " Mom, make sure you don't forget to show Dad!"
If there ever was a boy that was ALL boy it is Kadin. The dirtier, the messier, the louder and the rougher you can be.....the better. Much to the dismay of this mother who usually gets herself tied up in knots at the silly boy. Over time I have relaxed somewhat. But who wants to wash five loads of laundry a day just because mud is fun?! Oh, pardon me, because it's good for your face....lol.
We also love to play fight....Kadin and Daddy that is. I would rather keep my sanity and my pride. Kadin is a very strong 6 year-old and I am doubting my ability to actually put him on the ground and keep him there. Marcel and he were play fighting the other day. Marcel finally told him that if he didn't quit punching him that the next time it was really going to make him cry. Kadin's smart response? "What are you gonna do? Get an onion?" As if his poor old Dad was not able to possibly lay a punch on this little tuffy that would actually be able to hurt him.....hahaha.RIGHT!
Anyways, we love this ALL boy....and I know deep down that it's not actually a bad thing. Boys were made to be this way.....(I hope) I will enjoy him while he is still so uninhibited.
