Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Rain Rain Go Away!!
Don't You Know it is SWIMMING DAY!!


Mr. C- "Mommy we can't go swimming it is raining" (tears in his eyes)
Me- "Maybe it will be gone by the time it is swimming lessons"
Mr.C- "It won't, it won't.....it will never"

The kiddos are super sad that it is cloudy and rainy on their "swimming day". They go to lessons M, T, and F. So they have been waiting extra patiently for today! I hope that the storm will pass and they will be able to go....if not I will have two little bummed out swimmers. On swimming days they can hardly stand to keep their regular clothes on. I typically find Mr.C in his swimsuit several times during the day and have to make him change back into his regular clothes. Sweet E can't put her swimsuit on herself so she resorts to carrying hers around all day with her towel.

When I was trying to explain to Sweet E that it was raining I pointed out that she could hear it hitting the skylight. She stopped and listened intently for a minute, when she finally heard it she got a TERRIFIED look on her face.....and now she refuses to go into any room that has a skylight! She is afraid the rain is going to get in! I keep telling her the rain is outside....so she keeps walking around the house saying "rain outside". Poor kiddo....I guess I should not have pointed it out....especially given the fact that she is scared of the shower! What are we going to do when Monsoon season hits....that is when the real rain comes!!
