Puddle Jumping ~ Simcoe, ON

As a mom we all have days where the minute our kids get into something messy we cringe.  Most days I'm that mom.  Most days my kid asks to do something that I know is just going to be a big messy disaster and I say maybe later, or not right now.

Well today was different.  

Today I was going to be the fun mom.

I had just gotten home in the POURING rain to see my neighbour outside with his two kids practically swimming in the street.  And I thought to myself, oh I wish Miss R was home, so I could take pictures of her splashing around out there!  So, out of the norm for me, I packed up the babe and off we went to pick her up EARLY from school.  But of course, I get there and they are headed into the gym for play time.  I ask her 'Do you want to go jump in some puddles?' She nods.  'Ok, lets go!' Her response: 'Mommy...can we go play in the gym first?'

I thought I was being the COOLEST mom ever to pick her up from school early to go play in the rain. Thank goodness her teacher was able to convince her that jumping in the mud would be too much more fun.

So off we went to the MUD! 

She wasn't much for the sticking to the ground.  She jumped if I asked her too, but she just wanted to go home.  She much preferred the puddles in the driveway, but she definitely got excited that mommy let her cross the street on her own.  Its' the little things:)
