Today we had a morning rain shower. It was a perfect opportunity to introduce Hudson to rain. I try to teach him signs to use until he's capable of speaking, and he picked up the sign for rain pretty quickly--probably because he was experiencing it! It's funny, rain is normally something that makes me feel kind of mopey and melancholy, but this rain shower made me feel so invigorated. I guess you forget how invigorating a rain shower can be when you don't take time to play in it.
I'm glad that so far I'm letting Hudson learn by experiencing things. I don't want to hold him back just because it might get messy. I guess this kind of goes along with the idea that we want to be "safe." Jesus doesn't call us to a "safe" life. I really want to be completely spent up at the end of my life because I've been passionately pursuing my God. I hope this for our son, too.
