It was Oakley's first time on the beach on Sunday, and boy did he love every single moment of being there. We placed him on the sand thinking he'll cringe at the feeling of the sand between his toes, and he surprised us and wasn't even bothered by the feeling at all. He sat there, playing with the sand between his toes as well as picking it up and playing with it in his hands, and of course we had to taste the sand just to make sure that it tastes ok, so his mouth was covered in sand, his hands were full of sand, and he just embraced it all.

After much fun in the sand, we decided to go down to the surf and feel the water. It was freezing, but he was so excited by the BIG water, that all he wanted was to be put down, those legs were just bouncing up and down with excitement. He absolutely LOVES ''splashing splashing'' (aka water). So he sat there by the surf, and watched as the waves went back and forth, very confused as to why it kept going away, he did get a little bit irritated that it kept going away, he didn't quite understand, but the moment it came to him, well.....the smiles, and the giggles, were priceless. He loved it.
 
After much fun in the sea, and lots of sand all over the both of us, he was starting to get grumpy. So a quick wash in the sea, and lots of baby powder to remove the little bits of sand left behind, I changed him out of his wet clothes, and got him all dressed warmly and he was happy again, as much as he wiggled and jiggled trying to get back into the water, it was time to go. It was definitely a memory I'll cherish forever, he was in his happy place, the ocean called to him, and there's nothing better then ''splashing splashing'' in my little boys eyes.
