Remember when I was lamenting about starting to lose the carefree rain-dancer in me?
I think he’s keeping her alive more than I realize.

Oh, that’s so wonderful! I think Braden is definitely a balm for your soul (when he’s not ducktaped in the closet)

I love dancing in the rain. Gentle rain that is. A wind driven downpour is an entirely different matter.
Zoeyjane
Can you please take him puddle jumping? It’s the funnest.
Veronica
I cannot wait until we have the spring showers that are warm, rather than the rain we have been having which tries to freeze your bones.

There is nothing like playing in the rain with the kiddo to remind you of all that is good in the world!

I meant to say that the sign on my WW post always makes me think of the Mexican, but I got distracted by the cuteness of dancing in the rain.

So adorable. They keep us more alive than we realize sometimes, don’t they? It’s moments like playing in the rain that are needed to remind us.

Cute and carefree, I just love it.
I’ve tried to get Princess to dance in the rain but she just won’t have anything to do with it.

Kids are just fantastic to remind us about the small pleasures in life. There is so much that we take for granted! He is sooooo cute!

So many of us tried to tell you *she* is still there. Thanks for letting Braden enjoy the experience of rain on his face (it tickled me that he kept looking up at it) and thanks for sharing it with the rest of us. You rock, Mom.

I’m so jealous! Mine stopped dead in his tracks today, covered his head with his hands and said forlornly, “Waining! Me Momma waining! WET!!” and refused to walk a step further, even though our house was within sight. That’s what I get for marrying a man with anal-retentive genes.

Kari C
I am so happy to see someone else who lets their toddler dance in the rain!! I always thought it was cute.
Connie
This was sweet! Although, you put me to shame~if it’s raining out & Kendall (or Justin, for that matter) ask to go outside, I usually tell them “it’s wet” & we’ll have to wait.
Note to self~~MUST take them out while it’s raining & BE A KID
