Rain, Rain, Go Away

We have had a lot of rain the past week. And there is more to come. I love it. It has cooled things down and made for easier, more enjoyable sleeping. But the hassle of it is that it makes us homebound. And Jakob certainly doesn’t like to be homebound for too long. But he is checking out the rain with new curiosity. Wondering why it comes down so fast at times and then so slowly. What is thunder and lightening? He isn’t interested in the scientific explanations he wants fun ones. He wants to hear that the thunder is actually because the storm clouds are angry. I feel like Kathy Bates in Waterboy. Making up explanations that he likes to hear. Or that I make up because I don’t really know the right answer. I though I had some time, but I think I need to buy that book that is filled with 1001 answers to questions your kid will ask you.
