Something my children have taught me is to love whatever the day brings. If it is snowing in April, they love it. If it is in the 80's Lydia insists on getting the pool out. Yesterday was one of those days. We had a blast outside. This morning Lydia woke up and saw the clouds. She was overjoyed. "Mom, is it going to rain today?" Yes honey. "Wahoo! Can I play outside with my umbrella?" At least someone was excited by the day’s prospects.
When it did rain, Lydia went outside in her dress ups with her new Ariel umbrella exclaiming, "Come on everybody, it's time to CELEBRATE!" Then she ran outside and sang her "celebrate" song.
Ali is happy to follow along behind such rejoicings. Ali loves her Dora umbrella. She sang the Dora theme song while she danced. It was fun to sit under my cover and smell and listen to the rain while my girls joyfully played in the rain. Then we came in and had hot chocolate. It did end up being a pretty fun day. I'm glad my girls help me see the silver linings in the clouds.
That is so sweet. It is great when our children teach us lessons. Love Audra

ReplyDeleteHey, the rain is a reason to celebrate! I once left a college class just so I could go stand in the rain.
