Puddle Jumper

It was another Friday Fun Day over in California, and boy was it a wet one.

Bennett had an absolute blast playing in the gigantic puddle in the middle of the yard at school.  He poured bucked after bucket of water into the sandbox.

Eventually the rain started to pick up again and he decided to experiment with some very damp sand in the trucks.

"Tiny little dump truck" went for a drive on the tree, while Bennett gazed up at the rain clouds.

At this point it was pretty much pouring, and Bennett was downright soaked.

It wasn't until we got inside and changed his clothes that I realized his socks were so wet I could wring them out like a wet bathing suit.  Whoops!  It was so fun to see my little guy enjoying the rain, especially since Orelia now basically has no interest in puddle jumping or really anything to do with wet weather.  It's nice to have one kid to enjoy this quintessential childhood activity.

Bennett has been loving puzzles lately as well, and was especially interested in the transportation-themed puzzles out in class that day.  If it's a truck, a truck book, a truck puzzle, or a truck poster, Bennett is all over it.

Bennett found it absolutely hilarious to see the monkeys in the book at snack time.  We read this book every week, and I haven't the slightest idea what he finds so funny, but that's what makes it toddler magic.

It was a day full of simple pleasures at school, and it was a great one.
