We're having torrential downpours and have been for the past 24 hours. It's supposed to continue like this for another couple of days and that makes for a lot of time in a concrete palace. So this morning Kristen came over, we went to Coffee Casa for breakfast (neither rain nor snow nor dark of night can keep me from a cappuccino as big as my face) and then came home, put Wyatt in his swimwear and had a big ol' time outside. In the pouring rain. In the puddles past our ankles (or knees, if you're Wyatt). Kristen even ventured into the clogged-drain lake in the sideyard to rescue a big ball that wound up there so Wyatt could play with it. It's safe to say we all got soaked and we all had a great time.
I think some of the neighbors might have thought we were crazy and the Japanese garbage men laughed at us, but Wyatt seemed to think it was one of the greatest things he'd ever done and kept making his way to the deep end of the sidewalk. Totally worth it!

Who had more fun, mom or Wyatt? You should have added Millie to the mix. It looks like a good time was had by all. I assume no lightning was in the vicinity. Does Wyatt need boots/hipwaders? They used to have cute ones in bright colors at that department store in the kind-of shopping center. Know where I mean from that oh-so-accurate description?? And I didn't see any pinkish hair glowing from under the hoodie.
Oh, it looks like you guys had so much fun! Wish Jackson could walk...we'd be right out there with you!
I love it! And I have to say, I'm amazed by how "in control" Wyatt is! Standing and bending and walking already. Michael is taking his sweet ol time in the walking department. It'll be a while before he can splash in mud puddles without toppling over. Go Wyatt! Wish you were here to inspire Michael :)
