It was inevitable that the time would come to let Maceo wiggle off the mat and throw himself - quite literally - into the full tactile experience of sand. For those of you that know me well, watching Maceo roll around in the sand and become totally filthy required some deep breathing. I was literally itching just watching him. I know all the developmental benefits of sand play, but the combination of thick sunscreen and beach sand on a baby must be similar to the process of making commercial sandpaper. All my neuroses aside, Maceo had a blast and was completely unfazed by the scratchy sand factor - even when it lodged itself into every single crevice possible.
