Now, at almost 30, I get to relive those days and the fun.

A few weeks back, it started to sprinkle and Allyson came running into the kitchen and asked to go play in the puddles. I was doing something, I think it was unloading the dishwasher. Part of me wanted to say No, not right now. Mommy is emptying the dishwasher. But something inside of me knew I needed to say yes to this special moment.

We spent about 45 minutes walking around our neighborhood through the puddles in the gutter.
I let go of unloading the dishwasher. Let go of worrying about the nastiness in the gutter. I enjoyed those moments with the kids. I was able to just have fun and be in the moment with them.

We took turns following each other through the puddles.

Austin even fell into a puddle and he just laughed.
There was just something so refreshing and so wonderful about being out in the rain with them.

I enjoyed my children. I said yes to them and it was amazing.

It's supposed to be crazy

They look so happy splashing in the water! I should be a bit more relaxed and let A do this more often :)
ReplyDeleteI love this (and your new blog name!). I always find saying yes ends up being so great...and playing in the rain is just my thing ;)
