Dirt and stuff
Anya now prefers to walk by herself. Still tumbles and falls, but she’d get up, clap her hands to remove the dirt and walk again.
The thing is, when she falls down both her hands are on the ground. And when I say ‘the ground’, I’m talking about the playground, the pedestrian walkway, the streets, the shopping centre, the food court, you name it. AND usually within 2 minutes, one of her fingers somehow ends up in her mouth!
I’m not a super-clean-can’t-get-no-dirt-on-my-family type of person. My philosophy is, if our kids are always super extra clean, never been exposed to much dirt and stuff, they’ll get ‘sick’ easier (read: their immune system is less strong)
[Having said that, I do NOT purposely let Anya play with the dustbin of course!]
Anyway, I am always amazed at how God creates our body system. It’s so excellent that we humans don’t throw up and fall sick each time some ‘unclean’ stuff enters our body. The germs in the air we breathe. The chemicals in our vegies. The bacteria stuck on our hands as we open public toilet doors.
I don’t know how much dirt gets into Anya everyday. But I know Anya is happy and healthy.
