playing in the rain












last night brought much needed rain, as the kids sat at the table coloring Yahaira looked up and noticed the rain. "I should walk in the rain" she said. "you should" I replied. So after they dug out their mud boots and grabbed an umbrella it was out in the rain they went, joined by Beckie. Rosie lasted until the first round of thunder and then she headed to the garage. Lot's of giggles and laughter as they splashed and jumped in the puddles. Into warm baths as soon as they went inside and wondered when it might rain again. As Yahaira fell asleep last night she said to me "I liked walking in the rain" and with that simple statement she reminded me of how important the simply ordinary is in a child's life.
