So yesterday as we got home from swim class it started to rain. Hard. Logan is such a water baby. All he wanted was to play in the rain. So we did.
I’m sure if the neighbors looked out their windows it looked nuts. What kind of mom let’s her toddler run around in the rain and doesn’t try to get him inside as fast as she can.
The answer: this mom. It’s just a summer storm. It wasn’t freezing. If anything it was warm. He had so much fun. I think we may have been out there in the rain for at least 45min.
I wouldn’t change that play time for anything. You couldn’t have offered me money to take him inside.
Don’t get me wrong I didn’t want to be out in the rain. I so wanted to go inside. But I wasn’t going to make Logan. He was having way too much fun.
As parents we spend a lot of time telling our kids what they can’t do. No don’t do that. It isn’t safe. You could get hurt. Be careful. Too late to play with toys it’s bed time. And on and on and on.
But today I got to say ok. And just let him have crazy fun. And I’m so glad I did. His smiles were so big. He was laughing and running around. All he wanted was to play with his mama in the rain. And he got to.
Such a fun time with my little man. I lubs him.
