“why not?” parenting
It was raining this afternoon and Caleb (obsessed with water as he is) noticed and was BEGGING to go outside. I tried explaining to him in my, “I know you’re only 17 months but try and understand the point here” voice that we couldn’t go outside right now because it was raining. As I calmly apologized to him for his disappointment, I asked myself, “why not?”
I carefully gathered all the necessary safety equipment (lots of towels so as not to slip and fall on the concrete) and my camera (of course) and waited for a pleasant “please” from the boy-o. Upon receiving it, this is what happened…
and this…
and this…
He kept looking up as it fell, trying to figure out where it was coming from and gleefully repeated, “WAWER!!” It was my perfect opportunity to explain that it was coming from God.
Why not?

This is the cutest little guy in the whole world. I love the pic with him looking up to God, and the one where he is delightedly laughing. You’re such a good mom to have a Rain Day. You are making memories.
