So when I woke up on Monday morning and it was pouring rain, in the middle of January, I was pretty disappointed. Arden and I have a nice Monday and wednesday morning routine that includes a solid walk after dropping Charlotte and ruby at their respective schools and, while the rain isn't much of a bother to me, at this time of year I'd much prefer snow. Anyway – rain seemed to be on the agenda for the day and leave it to ruby to make the best of it. It was probably the longest walk home from nursery school that we've ever had. Some work was done on the gas lines on our street about 2years ago and they still haven't repaired the sidewalks so there are lots of places where water can pool and that meant plenty of puddles to jump in along the way. Her enthusiasm for this was amazing and it was nothing short of a true joy to walk home with her. Rain in January. Not my first choice but not so bad either.
