Sunday Snapshot {Let it Rain, Rain, Rain}

I'll be honest. I don't love the rain. Actually, I like to watch the rain and I like the smell of rain. I don't like to be in the rain. I think it's cold, and I've never gotten the fun of splashing in puddles. My littlest friend, however, loves the rain. Especially the puddles. Those are a good time. Now, I never would have taken him outside after the rain. It's cold and wet. And he might get cold and wet. I might get cold and wet. I think not.

I certainly would not have let him "drink" the rainwater off the deck
or his picnic table
I also would not have let him get soaking wet while crawling through puddles

However, after a rain storm one evening, I was not in charge. Grammy and Papa were in charge. So, before I knew it, they had taken him outside. He was soaking wet, giggling loudly, and trying to pop the bubbles that Papa was blowing for him.
And, after I watched him do this

and this


I decided I liked the rain after all.

Thank goodness for grandparents!

So sweet to watch them LEARN new things!! I love witnessing their discovery - even if it means enduring them licking a few things ;)

Your little guy is such a cutie! Grandparents are indeed the best. I love to see our kids' relationships with all of their grandparents grow. Thanks for sharing!
