Little boys + dirt = fun

Benjamin had a great day in preschool today! Yay! He didn't look like he had been crying for three hours straight when I picked him up. Yay! These are good things. He looked so adorable and I wish I had a good picture to show you, but the only one I have is one taken from my cellphone and he was running while it was taken. He had his little backpack on and he was carrying his lunchbox in his hand. He looked like a tiny little Kindergarten student. We were walking out to the car and the ground was a bit soggy and full of mud puddles. There is one mud puddle there that is particularly large and the school has attempted to fix it a number of times, but the rain keeps restricting their progress. It was completely full of water and Benjamin sees it, forgets that it is about thigh high deep on him, and goes running for it. Meanwhile, I'm screaming "NOOO", but it's too late... he plunges face forward in this puddle mainly because his hands are otherwise occupied by aforementioned backpack and lunchbox. I get over in front of him and he looks up at me and starts to cry and I bust out laughing and he starts smiling... mud in his teeth and all. I wish I had a picture of that.
