The great sand hunt

So guess who played with sand for the first time in his life?

We were taking a walk along the sandy white beach in Bali last week and mister tiny toes got to dip his teensy weensy toes in the soft, warm sand.

It’s so cute to watch them experience something new for the first time because at first, he was really grossed out and he scrunched up his face like he was tasting something weirdish like lemon or spinach.

Then after a few bounces in the sand, he was like “oooh, this feels strangely fun and comforting.”

And a little while later, he was completely sold on the whole sand experience. Like “MOAR SAND! MOAR MOAR SAND!! ME LIKE SAND. IMMA PACK SOME OF THIS STUFF IN MY DIAPER AND THIGHS AND TOES WHERE MOMMA CAN’T SEE IT SO I CAN BRING SOME HOME TO PLAY WITH LATER…”

Which is exactly what he did because after we got back, I got to play a game called The Hunt For Hidden Sand Granules.

Wherein I’m supposed to hunt for hidden sand granules on my baby including but not limited to the following areas: between the digits of his toes, behind his knees, in the folds of his thighs, wrist and neck.

Me no like this game.

    Am enjoying your posts on your Bali trip very much. I told my hubs that we absolutely HAVE to make a trip there too! And I’m loving those bright orange holiday nails…they blend in perfectly with your tropical holiday setting. As for the gritty sandy bits stuck all over those chubby baby crevices, try sprinkling some talcum powder …that should help make dusting the sand off easier
