That is the sound I was serenaded with as Kaden fought naptime this afternoon.
We spent the morning outside with his friends (and mine) Mallory, Ashley, and their mom Marissa and Aunt Lindsay. The kids screamed, splashed, slipped, and scrambled in and out of the pool. Back and forth they went from the driveway full of trikes, bikes, cars and wagons, to the pool with the slide into it and a few cups and balls to splash around with. I can't get over how kids can just sit in a pool full of hose water and not even FLINCH. BRRRR.
From the moment we came inside...through lunchtime...through his Dr. Appointment...back home and until he finally fell asleep for a nap, I heard nothing but his pleading "Out-tide...out-tide..." I tend to find it somewhat annoying, but as I think about it, I realize that he is just a little boy who LOVES loves, LOVES, to be outside, and has no other way to express it. When he grows up I will miss these moments.
