He Loves It!

Grayson has not really enjoyed the sand much at all this year.  He HATED it in Atlantis and was pretty unhappy to be down at the beach in Coronado this year also.  During the July trip, he warmed up to the idea of playing with some toys on a beach towel but he didn't venture beyond that at all.  It has been a little bit difficult to really play with the other boys on the beach this trip because there weren't any extra people along who could keep him to sleep while I took the boys to the ocean.  When we were walking down this morning I literally said, "Grayson, today will be the day you learn to love the beach."  I didn't really believe it would happen, but today he LOVED the beach.  It was very uncrowded, we were really the only ones down there for a couple of hours and he was walking and crawling around everywhere.  He even chased a bird into the water and let some waves come up on his legs.  I was pretty excited about it.  What kid of mine doesn't like the beach??  He had sand in every crevice possible and I will probably still be finding those gold/black flecks in his hair and ears for the next couple of days - but he really enjoyed himself . . . FINALLY!
