The Puddle Jumper....
It´s been pretty overcast here the past few days, but Sam and I have still ventured out to the playground each morning, and have *almost* always missed the rain. We headed out the door this morning, wearing out “messy shoes” (Samuel had on his new rain boots, and I had on my rather dirty sneakers), and started walking to the playground. As it had rained, and there were many puddles, I also had Samuel put on his rain pants, and his rain slicker. This was, as it turned out, the right decision.
Samuel stopped and jumped/ran happily through every puddle we saw. He was having a wonderful time. I remembered when Andy and I used to run through puddles, play in just-raked leaf piles, and get into mischief. I was so happy to see him so excited and happy.
We had a happy hour at the playground, and then the rain started coming down. Sam and I agreed to run home and make spaghetti together. We did, and he enjoyed having the chance to splash through the puddles again. :)
