Rubber Boots

Spring is coming to our city, we're sure of it. Or at least we are really, really hoping for it. The temperatures have been going back and forth between warmish enough to cause melting to freezing all the melted water into skating rinks. On this day, it was kind of chilly, but yet, raining. Ahh...only in Winnipeg.

So we have puddles. Lakes actually. In fact, one lake is large enough that it flooded into our garage and the aforementioned below zero temperatures froze everything in there solidly to the concrete floor.....but that is another story.

So we have puddles. And in preparation for this, I got Matthew his first pair of rubber boots. As it turns out, little person rubber boots are really the cutest things in the world. They're so little! So on this "lovely" spring day, we headed out to play in the puddles while Daddy tried to release the contents of the garage.




I think Matthew had fun. He thought the water around his feet was kind of interesting and kept wanting to go back into the puddles. Perhaps he will have more fun when there isn't sheer ice under all the water and he will be able to move more freely without Mom's hand. But I'm sure there will be lots more time to play in this spring. This is only the beginning...
