Being a kid is always fun!

So if you didn't already know, our daughter just LOVES water in any form. She can't get enough of it and would be in it if she could 24 -7. One evening a few weeks ago we had one of our famous rain storms here in Ohio and we went out on our front porch to watch it come down together as a family. We stuck our hands out into the rain and that is all it took for Tatum. She was grunting at us and pointing at the rain. She wanted us to take her out into what was the biggest shower possible and let her play in it. So that is what we did. We ran out and played in the rain as a family and had SO much fun. Tatum was laughing and smiling so hard it was priceless. We found all the puddles we could to splash in and even let her sit down and have at it. She was in heaven. The hardest part was bringing her back in. She cried and begged with her big blue eyes to let her stay out and play. It was a fun memory that I will always remember. We are now forever doomed because since that night whenever it's rained she wants to go out and play it in. If we don't take her out she whines and cries. It's sad and cute all at the same time.
