I love for Matthew to play hard. I love for him to get dirty and explore outside. So I will happily wash loads upon loads of his clothes. There are two "outdoor" things, however, that I can't stand the thought of. The first is for his little hands or feet to get scratched and roughed up. When I see him rubbing his hands quickly along the concrete, I shudder! The second is for his milky white skin to become tanned. I am sun lover, but for him...no way. Yesterday while outside I rolled up his sleeves so he could play in the water. I then dutifully put on a 55 spf lotion on his arms and face. So when later I took off his shirt and saw serious tan lines on his arms, I about cried! Guess I better start feeding him tofu!!! Read about that idea HERE.
P.S. Hey Mom, I just realized that the new way I am attaching photos doesn't let you click & view them in a larger size. I'll go back to the old way!
