Playing in the Rain

I could have watched this forever: Natalie, my bath-phobic, shower-hating child playing in the rain for 20 minutes. She kept her arms straight up, face pointed toward the sky and was just so full of joy. She splashed, she giggled, she ran, she squealed. It was enormously heart-warming. And it was a good reminder to be a playful parent - a rainy day doesn't automatically mean we have to stay indoors. Her soggy dress, slicked back hair, and huge grin proved that to be true.

I just wish I had brought my camera. Boo.

Im glad Gavin likes his baths. Its the getting dressed after that is hard. He squirms and starts to get upset.
