Alex and I went for a walk today, originally to catch some bugs in his new bug keeper. We got to the park and I let go of his hand, telling him that now, he was a big enough boy to run around the park on his own. He walked around the tree area until he spotted a large puddle and started to make his way towards it. I cautioned him to NOT jump in the puddle, explaining that he was wearing sneakers and socks and that it was still too cold for that. I told him that in the summer, when he's wearing sandals and shorts, he can jump in puddles.
He rechecked these rules with me:
Alex: 'No jumping in the puddle.'
Me: 'That's right, Baby.'
Alex 'Because I have shoes on.'
Me: 'That's right. No shoes in the puddles.'
Alex: 'And no pants'
Me: 'Right.'
Alex: 'And no shirts. And no jackets!'
Me: That's right.
We walked on towards the road in the park where some smaller puddles had gathered at the edges. I walked towards one, intending to step over it. Alex was on the case!
'Don't jump in that puddle Mommy!'
