I’ve never done a “Wordless Wednesday” before.
But I couldn’t pass this up.
This picture left me speechless.
Last year, my son wouldn’t touch sand. Kept shoes on. No beach.
This year…
Behold…
Wait for it…
He kept asking for more sand. More decorations.
Look at his eyes. Relaxed.
“It’s like a giant sandy hug.”
Thank you to my friends who got him into the sand and covered him up and scratched his nose. If his knee wasn’t itchy, I think he’d still be there.

Wow! Even with sea weed!
I know where you’re coming from with the sand — Little Miss was a screaming wreck last summer when we tried to set her feet down on it. We haven’t worked up to barefoot in the sand just yet, but she did run around the beach with her shoes on earlier this week
Congrats on another step!

Yay for sand! What a great accomplishment for both of you. This is always the thing I appreciate most about my daughter’s special needs, the little things that others take for granted are not so little for us. Getting buried in the sand is baby book-worthy.
