Oh, to be carefree again...

I have oodles of photos of Cayden and Hadley naked.

Not because I think naked kids are cute.

Or because I'm plotting to blackmail them in their teenage years. Or embarrass them in front of their high school prom dates.

And not because I haven't done the laundry.

But because it's one of the few perks of distant neighbors and rural living.

And because it's hot outside and they're more comfortable this way.

And because little kids are constantly going to the bathroom/requiring diaper changes.....clothes are discarded over the day.

So kids go naked and pictures are taken because pale tots against lush green grass make nice photos.

...Nice photos that we can whip out in 2023 and 2025 when we meet their prom dates and regale them with stories of Hadley eating dog food and stink bugs...
