This weekend daddy went out on a friend's boat to go water skiing. When I heard this I was all a-twitter and stood up in the bathtub and pretended to ski. I really really wanted to go with him but I didn't get to this time. Mama and I went to the farmer's market instead. We got berries and veggies and fruit spread. And I went to the park and then to the swings and back to the park. Then mama said it was time to go.
But we walked by the fountains and that was it for me. I saw all the kids playing and having fun and I was a little torn. I didn't have my swimsuit on and that was nearly a dealbreaker for me. But after a while of standing there in the heat watching, mama finally said that I either needed to get wet or we were going to go. As any reasonable man would do, I got WET!
I ran and ran and played and got soaked. Mama didn't have a change of clothes for me so she took off my shirt in a futile attempt to dry it in the hot sun before we left. As I made my loops around, I always said hi to mama. I also told her that I was playing with the kids! I was so happy to be playing with the kids. And a little proud of myself.
After a long time of playing, I came to mama and told her that I had to potty. And I wanted to do it on the grass, like we do at home when I'm wet from the sprinkler. Mama said that wasn't ok with so many people around, so we got shoes and shirt back on (which hadn't dried yet) and walked back to the porta potties. Mama was hoping that I would dry off a little on the walk but it didn't really happen. I pottied and wanted to go back in the water but mama said that we were all done because she was getting tired and cranky. I said ok but was pretty bummed. We walked through the market and got some chocolate gelato and ate it under the trees. I still hadn't dried out.
We got back to the car and finally mama had to face facts. She was going to put me in the spare underpants she has in her purse, but my juice cup had leaked on them while we were in the market. So zero dry clothes and one wet boy.
Eventually I found myself stark naked in my carseat and both of us were giggling. Mama drove us away and I kept saying to her "this feels weird..."
