Our second day home and time for Thomas to return to daycare. This is how he arrives home most days – covered in dirt. There are some stains on his clothes that I am never going to be able to get out.

But I actually love it that he has the freedom to get dirty at daycare. And he can always wash it off when he gets home and I love the fact that he is exploring with his hands…and sometimes his face I guess.

Of course this means that some of his clothes will never be handed down to Samuel, but I think Samuel might eventually be grateful for some new things. Poor kid is destined to receive hand me downs for many years to come.
