Dirt

Our neighbors are putting in their yard and had 4 or 5 loads of dirt delivered last week.  Josh has been in heaven.  He LOVES it.  He's even started getting his homework done faster so that he has time to go and play in the dirt before dinner.  I told him at the beginning that I didn't care if he played in the dirt but that if he did, he HAD to take a shower that night.  No if's, and's, or but's about it.  Turns out, he had plenty of if's, and's, and but's.  What a stink.  He fights me about it every time even though I'll remind him before he heads out to play, that if he gets in the dirt that means he needs to take a shower.  One time when he was arguing with me, he said "But Mom, I only got dirty from here(pointing to his waist) down.  And I can just take my clothes off and then I don't need to take a shower."  He still took a shower.  Here's a picture of him playing on the dirt hill with our neighbor Oakley.
