dear mis(ter)chief,

so it’s lookin’ like…as of last weekend…it’s officially begun…

you livin’ most of your time…outside!

and this is your typical outside attire…

a diaper…and that most happiest smile!

but…this…is you just still hardly gettin’ started!

typically…when we drag you back inside at the end of your day…that diaper’s been accessorized with any-and-always-whatever’s-available water…some well-placed bumps, scrapes and bruises…a smattering of grass just here and there…and a liberally applied all-over layer of mud!

and…sometimes…tears instead of that smile!

but…this…is you just pickin’ right back up where you left off at the end of last summer…

outside!

so, here’s to the next four months (or so), little mister mischief…

when all i expect to hear out of you is…

“ ‘side?!? ”

very sincerely,
me (your lovin’-that-hannah-styled-happy-hairs-do mama)
