Things to do with a baby

Because he loves the water.
Because clothes can be washed and hair dried.
Because no one wants to be cooped up inside all day.
Because it is raining, raining and raining some more today.

The nice thing about living in a warm climate is we can go outside and play in the rain without freezing. Artie and I headed out after lunch to splash in some puddles. He got to crawl, taste, drink, splash and listen to the rain fall. I enjoyed watching my son explore and delight in nature.

While we were out in the rain we sang any rain rhymes and songs I could think of. We sang; 'Incy Wincy Spider,' 'It's Raining it's Pouring,' 'Rain, rain go away' and ' Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head.'

When the rain started to get a bit heavier we came back inside and got all dry and clean. Then I gave Artie a baby massage and we snuggled in the nursing chair until he fell asleep. And he is still asleep an hour and a half later! He must have worn himself out with all that exploring.
