How many of you have actually taken your child out to play in the rain? Most of the time, we are guilty of saying, "No, honey, you'll catch cold. Or, "No, honey, you'll get drenched." Well, it's time to loosen up, Moms. Unless it's freezing cold outside or your child has been ill, get out there with him or her and enjoy the free sprinkler system.
It's funny how we'll pay for water games for our children, then we won't even let them enjoy the free rain nature gives us. It's just water. It will dry and not even leave stains. Lay some thick towels by the door and a quick change of clothes or robes to make it to the bedroom or bathroom to change, and get wet with your child.
Rain can be beautiful. Yet so many times the only response we will give on rain is a negative one. Why? It's like learning to say the glass is half-full instead of half-empty. We must also learn to respect and enjoy nature.
I think we have been programmed by society in general to avoid the rain. How sad. Well, then again, this just gives us homeschool moms another reason to do our own thing, right? So, get out there and do it, moms. Show the world that you won't let the rain get you down.

Thanks, Tammy. By the way, I got your button on my blog tonight!
My kids love playing in the rain when they were young.
