Almost perfect weather.

Finally, it's not hot...but, it is a little on the wet side. Still, Amelia wanted to go outside today. I carried her outside and let her feel a little of the cool rain as it fell. She thought that was really neat. I took her back inside figuring she had spent enough time in the wet weather for today.

Well, Amelia figured differently. After finally understanding that the word Amelia was repeating was not, "light" but "outside" (strangely enough, these words sound the same coming from her) I reminded her that it was wet and muddy outside our door. I told her that this was probably not a good time to go out and that she wouldn't have much fun.

Well, she started fussing, whimpering and bouncing insisting that she really did want to go outside to play. Eventually, I gave in. I put our shoes on and told her (though I knew it was pointless) "Try not to get muddy."

Amelia had a great time outside. She walked all over the apartment complex, and sat in mud numerous times. It's a good thing she likes baths so that she can have extra bath time on days like today.
