Scooting in the Rain

What better way to kick off our three-day weekend, than with a Saturday morning thunderstorm! I opened the front door to enjoy the smell of rain and Owen just couldn't resist the temptation to get outside and play! What kind of mom would I be to deprive my diapered dude a moment of pure joy, butt-scooting down the sidewalk in a rainstorm?
His diaper was shredded, his body soaked and the smile on his face was worth every moment!

How SWEET is that?? He looks so so happy! I love the NG (well not NG itself) following behind. He is such a good sport about his tubes- it's amazing!

If you come live in Seattle he could butt scoot everyday in the rain :-)

I am so happy you were able to get some assistance- that will be nice for you to get a break!!!

It's amazing how something like this BEFORE would just be too much of a hassle, but NOW it is a blessing and memory!

So glad he got to scoot in the rain!!!

I LOVE it!! It makes me want a thunderstorm to come our way. Playing in the rain is my favorite. Owen has got the happiest smile. It makes me happy just to see it in pictures.

Awwww Owen Bear,
What a look of joy he has on his little face as the rain tickles him. Thanks Mama bear. I love how he sees his own reflection in the sidewalk in the last pic.

You are such a good mommy! You are an inspiration to others, like me, who get stuck in a routine and don't take the time to enjoy life's precious moments!

I am a blog stalker I must admit. I love coming to your blog to read about your little Owen..everytime I read it my heart swells with so many emotions. It is amazing what a child will teach you about life and through the eyes of little Owen it has certainly made me look at things differently. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with so many. The pictures of him scooting in the rain are priceless and brought MANY tears to my eyes. I will keep Owen and your sweet family in my daily prayers.
