Thunder Storm

Tonight we had a pretty good thunder storm during dinner. Afterward, Patrick was standing by the sliding door, mesmerized by the rain. The door was open, and the rain was coming down pretty hard so that it was splashing a little through the screen door. Patrick was just in his diaper since it was almost bath time, so I opened the door to see what he would do. He crawled out onto the patio without hesitation, sat in the hard rain for about two seconds, and turned straight around. He sat down right at the edge of the door, where he was still getting pretty wet, and watched the rain. Every few minutes he would lean forward as if to try again, and then remember the rain and sit back down. When he got tired of this, he found blankie and covered up to get warm.

I wish we had a video camera to record this, but we don't, so you will have to imagine how cute he was.
