Thanks for sharing. Some well earned dirt indeed.
Speaking of getting dirty, it reminds me of the days when my kids would jump into any puddle they see; clear water or muddy. I guess they learned it from Peppa, and would run and jump into a puddle whenever they see one. The older 2 have outgrown that stage, but the little one still purposefully walk into deep puddles whenever he sees them; although he is not as an aggressive puddle jumper as he used to be when he was younger. At first, my wife would try to stop them, but with me encouraging them to jump in every time, she eventually learned to just roll her eyes and let them do their jumping. After the first few jumps, she did always keep a towel and a change of clothes in the car though.

My daughter loves puddles too. I don’t let her jump in the muddy ones like Peppa though. Clear ones she can have at it. We bought her a pair of rain boots just for puddle jumping.
