Thunder

Ahhh! Spring time! When I think of spring I think of green grass, warmer air, and everything fresh and new. Spring is about a week away yet, but we are having our first "thunderstorm." It's just a little thunder, lighting, and rain. I forgot that Lukas hasn't seen this weather in a while. While I was dressing him this morning it thundered and he looked at me and said "Mama what's that?" I said it's thunder and he seemed to be content with my answer because he just giggled and smiled. Then it thundered again. So he asked me again, and I gave him the same answer. He smiled and said "Mama." When we walked outside to leave for daycare and work he noticed it was raining pretty hard and he crouched into me. He held his breath and then asked me "what's that?" So I told him it was rain! I got him in the car and he just sat there smiling. He got pretty used to the snow and he talked about it a lot. I am sure it will be the same with the rain. I forget that he is processing new experiences, feelings, and things everything everyday. To him this thunderstorm was a new experience that he doesn't remember from last year because he was too little. It's neat!
