It’s easy to get a little down when it rains and pass it off as unenjoyable. You get wet and cold and it can ruin plans if you’re outdoors. There goes the picnic you organized. And that poolside BBQ? Raincheck! Some people get bummed out when they see grey skies headed over, thinking about all the things they can’t do and how it imposes on their plans. Nature is nature, and you can’t mess with the weather.
Then other people might be a little disappointed that their beach day got rained out, but decide, “C’est la vie!” and roll with the punches otherwise.
This is the attitude that makes the rain enjoyable! And if not enjoyable, then at least manageable. Even though this little girl is singing “Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day..!” she’s got the right approach. While mom and daughter were outside on a humid day, as with most really humid days, the once bright blue sky darkened, signaling rain is on the way. Instead of running indoors to seek shelter, these two stayed outside to enjoy the cool refreshing downfall.
Mom was able to capture her daughter’s unbridled delight. At first, she’s holding her daughter’s hand as the little girl adorably sings the nursery rhyme into the camera. She’s got her arm extended trying to catch raindrops when she looks over towards the puddle and pauses for a second. That’s when she gets the idea to have a little fun!
And seriously, how fun is it to jump in puddles? This little girl knows exactly how much fun it is because once she lays eyes on the rain falling and collecting right beside her, she lets go of mom’s hand and dances over to splish-splash in the rain. Now she’s jumping up and down, her curls flopping along with her. And she’s still singing!
She’s hopping around and smiling and singing her little song, and making the most of the weather’s change of plans. This act is her rain dance, and it’s just so cute. She carries on for a while too, caught up in her own world, just her and the rain and the puddle.
