Ok... I'm going to really put myself out there for this blog, because it was one of those moments that I just couldn't let go "unblogged" (I may have just made up a new word!)
SPOILER: Be warned... I have no make up on, my hair isn't brushed, and I am still in my pajamas! I look rather scary!
This summer has been pretty shocking this year! It feels like it has rained more than it rains in winter! In the beginning it was really getting to me. I had myself geared for summer outdoor adventures and I wasn't getting them! Then one day I decided, "I am not going to let the weather dictate my day or my attitude towards it!"
So, when I woke up this morning (Saturday) and the rain had come to play AGAIN, I said to Ashton, "Hey buddy, you want to come and sing in the rain with me."
His reply was very enthusiastic, "YEAH, OK MUM, LETS GO!"
We rain straight outside and I taught him how to sing "I'm singing in the rain!" with the extra "Tuffa taffa" actions at the end of each chorus. Ashton loved it! He copied every move and created his own, dancing around the deck lifting his head to the rain, feeling the drops fall on his face!
It definitely was a precious and paradigm shift moment for me! I am determined even more now to never let the weather dictate my attitude towards the day... seize every moment to play!
