Day at the beach. Take two.

Yesterday we went to the beach with friends and had a really great time. We went to the same spot that we did last time. The kids had a fantastic time. They rolled in the sand, they ate sandy food, the played with the sand toys, they added sand to the bubble toys. It was a sandy, sandy day. There is still sand in Kai's hair, and I am not sure that it will ever wash out. Kai and and his friend, Dade, were fearless in the water. They were running into waves and Kai was putting his face in the water no problem. When it was time to go home, Kai requested several times to "stay here at the beach with friends." I love that he enjoys the beach that much. What I didn't love was the work that it took to get him to the car after we packed up. That part went a bit more smoothly with Jake along. Kai did manage to stay awake the entire way home and then asked to go to bed at about quarter after six. I obliged and then slept the rest of the night.

Despite the application of sunscreen and the reapplication of the sunscreen, Kai got a little bit of a sunburn on his back. He usually wears a rash guard but we forgot it at the cabin the last time we were there. Ugh. He requested cream on it right away this morning...after he peed on the potty! That's right, peed on the potty. This is the fourth time that he has requested to go in less than a week. I am thinking that there is the possibility of training pants in our future! Back to the sunburn, I think I am going to split open a part of our aloe plant and put that on it in a little bit. The burn is definitely not bad, but I really hope that it clears up quickly.

Did I mention that he got sandy?
