Rainy days are funny like that...

Josh actually had a pretty good day today. He went to school. When I picked him up it was raining. Not the quiet simple rain but the kind of rain that soaks you from the bottom to the top. Josh was so excited that it was raining. He was jumping in puddles and letting the pounding rain fall on his face. We walked to the car and just as we were getting in his car seat, BAM, thunder and lighting. He jumped out of his skin. I was able to calm him down. After dinner we sat and read books. This was his idea, which for Josh is unusual. I mean he likes books and likes to be read to but he never really asks to be read to. We read an alphabet book together. He was excited to recognize his letter J for his name. He also recognized A and E for friends names. Little by little we are going down the yellow brick road. Rainy days are funny like that, you think it will be cold and cloudy. Maybe your kids will run around and try to take over the house. Maybe you will sit in front of the TV all day and veg. Maybe your son will bring you a book, ask you to read it and discover together that life is making a little more since.
