Caught in the rain!

We really have needed the rain lately and I must admit that I love when it rains in the afternoon. I like it cause our morning is SO busy that by the time we eat lunch just like clockwork around 1:00 or 1:30 everyday Tanner sleeps for about 3 hours. He is so active in the mornings with playing in child development then the pool and the little waterpark that he completely wears himself out. It is really too humid and hot outside that its not that fun in July to be outside unless we are in water. But occasionally we play in the driveway with sidewalk chalk or I pull him around the neighborhood in his wagon. We visit our neighbors alot because he seems to be the star of the neighborhood. Most of are neighbors are older and retired and just LOVE Tanner. We do have some children but the ones on our street are older. Tanner is the only baby on our street. I love that he loves people and always waves and blows kisses to everyone as we ride around the neighborhood. I love our street! We have lots of trees and hardly any traffic. Well a few days ago I took Tanner up and down the streets in his wagon and when we left it was sunny and just enjoying our stroll around the neighborhood. We got over on the next street and out of no where it suddenly got so dark and I could hear a very hard rain come out of no where. We got drenched! It was so funny trying to get Tanner and I home while running in flip flops in an extreme down pour. I could not stop laughing. Tanner then started laughing too. One of those memories I will always remember as a special day just raising my son. It is SO true what everyone has told me that it goes by SO fast and I find myself just enjoying and treasuring each day with my son. I love spending time with him and thankful that I get to be his mommy! We had a great time at the little waterpark today and he loves spending time with me too. I love that he is excited to see me and although he isn't speaking full sentences yet he understands just about everything I say to him. He is very bright and I love his smile! What a gift to be a mom!
