Embracing the Cool Wet Day!

This morning I was brave and decided to face the cool, wet weather with Ethan and the dogs. Our weather this week has been disappointing...quite wet and cool so we have all stayed indoors waiting it out.  However this morning the waiting game was over as both Ethan and the dogs were getting a little stir crazy being cooped up indoors. So out came the rain boots and winter coats for some playtime outdoors.

Ethan was so excited to go outside...Over the past couple of months Ethan will show his enthusiasm for things he likes and wants to do by saying "Ya while nodding his head and laughing hysterically...It is so cute! Today we put on the spider man rain boots for our play outside...They are still a little big but they do the job...At first Ethan wasn't too sure how to walk in them and fell a couple of times...but after some time got the hang of it! I think he likes his rain boots! 

My friend a few doors down sells lots of different styles of crochet hats...I got Ethan an owl (see pictures below) and sock monkey hat...they are darling and I love it when he wears them!

 

Ethan and Miles

Ethan loves to play in the puddles at the curb!

Once inside...Ethan's poor little hands felt like icicles...
Out with the mittens!

I had fun getting some fresh air this morning with Ethan and quite truthfully we had fun being outside in the less then gorgeous weather...I remembered today that I can still have fun outside even if it is not nice out!  As a kid I played outside everyday and never really cared how beautiful the weather was.  No more keeping Ethan in on rainy, cool days...We are going to embrace outside each day...Beautiful weather or not! Because my brain needs fresh air, and Ethan loves going outside!

I have just decided that next time it rains I am going to put on mine and Ethan's rain jacket and boots and stomp in the puddles with my sweet little man because it is fun!
