skinny dipping

It was, apparently, a weekend of semi-naked toddlerhood. We took the kids for a picnic with friends at the outdoor wading pool. They splashed, they rolled down the hill, they led marches into the trees, they made the picnic table their fort and, after dinner, Kaya watched as her friends went skinny dipping. She listened so well when we told her we had to go home but when she pressed her face up to the chain link fence and longingly said, "Mommy, I wish I was swimming again too" my heart melted and we let Kaya and then Adlai go swimming again in the buff.
