all boy.

We are soaking up summer here. Henry is going from the minute his feet hit the floor, and I do my best to keep up with him. He fell asleep the other day with a baseball glove in his hand. He's learned to put his baseball hat on himself and is constantly begging to go outside, even when the heat index is 105. This kid is all all boy, all fun, all energy, all the time. I'm one lucky mama.

my baby in the rain.

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. -- Langston Hughes

Our much needed rain came at around dinner time. I saw the drops start and opened the back door. Henry ran to see the rain. Instantly, he started taking his clothes off, and then, he started to DANCE. My little boy, DANCING IN THE RAIN. Henry has always been such a bright, joyful spirit. I can't help but look back at another picture of him in the rain from last year:

It goes so fast. My beautiful baby is becoming more and more a kid every day. I'm so proud of the little person he's becoming. I pray I can foster his bright spirit, protect it. I pray I always let him play in the rain.
