Dance in the Rain
In the past, I have posted about my philosophy on outside play time. In short, if it’s safe, out we go! Here is the post that introduced that philosophy.
As you can see from the other photos I’m sharing today, this has been true since the start of my parenting journey (see Will puddle jumping in the photo above) and continues to be true.
Everyone is happier with outside time. So, don’t wait for the storm to pass. Learn to dance in the rain!
