Day 37: What's a little rain??

First off a little rain can be a nightmare! It means no outside play time, no bootcamp (unless we brave the mall), and no errands to run because who in their right mind wants to drag kids in and out of the car?!! The title of this post has a different meaning...you see, since we were stuck inside I figured I'd get a lot of the to-do list items done. Problem was that I had little dude with me and well, he's a boy so he's always getting into something. As I was paying bills and trying to finalize our taxes (yuck) it became apparent that it was quiet, too quite. So mama went running! I found the backdoor wide opened and it's pouring outside and where's my son?! Standing in the middle of the yard with his mouth opened and palms facing the sky! I really wish I would've snapped a pic but instead, because I'm a mama (translation: bubble-burster), I yelled "Brycen Allen! Get in this house!" So here he comes, running full speed and saying "sorry mama, sorry mama" in his scratchy little voice. We get inside and then it hits him...mama just took his fun away!

Pretty sad, huh?! If you look closely enough you can see that he's soaking wet but that's not why he's upset! Nope. Mama is NO fun! I immediately felt guilt because isn't this what part of being a kid, never mind a boy, is for?! Granted, I would never let him run around if there were some kind of terrible storm but this was just a little rain and he was having so much fun...so, take 2!

I felt it was a pretty good lesson for us both. I need to stop being so strict and expecting him to sit in one place for longer then 5 minutes and he now knows that it IS okay to play in the rain...with the proper gear and mama's permission. Side note...the umbrella was tossed about 5 minutes into this but thankfully the rain slowed down so we only got a tad wet! But what's a little rain, eh?

And because I always have to include a little something about our newest love...Eva-cakes got a new hairbow or "bow-bow" as Brycie calls it!
