dirt magnets

can someone please tell me what is so cool about dirt? what is so tasty about dirt? i just dont get it...

this picture was taken after i had already changed his entire (shirt, pants, socks, shoes, diaper as well - even the diaper was infested with dirt) outfit earlier. so instead of fishing him out of course i grab my camera....

because then he does this...what is this? he eats dirt like it is chocolate pie...i dont get it...

you cant really see his dirt beard too well here...it became a lot more pronounced after his second dip...and then his outfit was changed again...and he got a nice bath...and then the bath had to get a bath...this is the never-ending cycle of cleaning up after boys and i better well get used to it...i suppose...or stopped being so surprised...
