We went to the park today, and guess what… My daughter was the most dirty kid around, and she was the only one that was eating sand like I haven’t been feeding her for days. In addition she was drinking water from the puddle like I didn’t give her a sippy cup 5 minutes ago (which she throw on the ground). First she was splashing it around, once she sat in it, and after that she was licking that water from her fingers and spreading it all over her face, and back to the sand area to get some more sand in her… 🙂
I’d tried not to be crazy with my camera as I always am while in the park. I’d decided not to take it out so often, and just let my daughter play without my lens in her face all the time. Because of that I lost a few good shots of her.
At least I catched her stealing food from her little friend. That’s so true that grass in greener on the other side. She had her own sandwich which one piece she was holding in the other hand but, still it wasn’t enough.
It’s actually fun to have such a crazy kid. But it;s not funny to have to bath her or shower her a few times a day… 🙂

This made me laugh so hard. I had just seen an ad that said 9 out of 10 kids don’t get enough fiber…is yours the 1?!
Umm….I think yours IS the 1!
Too cute!
lol.. that might be it… I think she is the 1. In addition she is the kind that has never enough… no matter what!
What a cutie pie! And the entertainment she gives is precious. I don’t take my camera to the park ever anymore. I did last summer, but this summer the boys are all over the place. Loving every minute of it though…
yeah… I think that time is soon to come to us. she is way to active for me to take a decent shot. It’s ok if she’s on the swing but we’ve got plenty of pictures with her on the swing, so we do not need more.lol
and yes, she is a very funny creature… she’s got some charakter that melts people’s hearts. at least mine 🙂
Oh, how I adore her! Such a happy, inquisitive little girl! Enjoy every moment! Never see enough pics of her!
Sending hugs to all of you!
love,
A
thank you, Arline. It’s actually getting harded and harder to take a decent shot of her as she moves fast, and she won’t sit in one spot for longer than a few seconds 😉 at least you’ve got food… then she will sit still and she’ll be your best friend 🙂 Hugs back from all of us!
awe. that is so cute you caught her trying to get her friend’s food. i really really love that sand/mouth picture!
stopping by from show of your shot.

she actually got that piece of the food ! she doesn’t take no for an answer . lol
I’ll never understand why kids eat sand…but mine did, too! 🙂 Love that first shot with the sandy mouth!
HAHAHA – love the first shot. A little dirt never hurt.
Ashley, that is exactly what I think 🙂
Adorable! The first photo looks like she might be reaching to gobble up the camera, too. 🙂
She is just like mine! 😉 Both of them, for all that they are so different, are the same as this.
Only, I don’t let them eat sand after watching a particular House episode involving sand, a racoon, and … well, ewww… lol
I saw that House episode too! Such cute pictures. Love her cheeks.
Hm… seems like I should watch it, too 🙂
Oh I have those dirty kids too! The trick is baby powder, takes all the sand off in a jiff!
Thanks for sharing!
LOL!! How adorable!
Hi! Stopping by from MBC. Great blog!
Have a nice day!
Thank you so much for your post. I was just surfing the net because my 14 months old daughter eats sand by the handful and drinks out of puddles whenever we go to the playground. It feels like I could have written your post 😉 at least I know I am not the only mum wondering WHY!?
