Aylee - I have just returned from a shopping expedition. Butterhead now has her first pair of rain boots. Hot pink with purple flowers on the top. She picked them out herself. Now maybe the other mommies at the park will quit glaring at me for letting her run through the puddles and egging their children on to join her.
Uses for rain boots from when I was a kid -
1) Measuring the depth of puddles - Proceed to puddle. Walk through puddle slowly. If puddle depth does not exceed boot height, then find another puddle until boot height is exceeded.
2) Make music with boots - Water filled boots make a great slushing sound so dance around just listen to it.
3) Play water tag with friends - Once boot height is exceeded while taking measurements then there is no need to wear them to keep feet dry. Use boot to hold water and chase playground friends (preferably those with $80 jeans) and dump boot of water on them. Take turns avoiding and tossing boots of water. Great game!! highly recommended!
4) Help mommy stay employed - Everyone know that is is a recession so make an effort to help daddy see that mommy is a needed part of the team. Make sure boot have a good coating of mud and walk across carpets being sure to bounce a little to help mud slide off of boots and onto carpet. (Note - some moms are onto this so a quick burst of speed to get past her as she opens the door may be needed.) Once mud is off boots then sit down on butt allowing dirty water in boots to flow out onto floor. Take boots off and leave for mommy to pick up. Proceed to run (Mommy will probably be chasing at this point. Isn't helping mommy stay employed fun!) across as much carpet and floor as possible with wet dirty sock leaving a trail for dad to follow. Let mommy catch you an struggle a bit so that part of the mud on your clothes is transfered to mommys clean clothes.
Bonus points for timing the whole thing right as daddy gets home so she also gets the sympathy vote.
With practice the whole thing can be accomplished in less than two minutes and you can take the rest of the day off assured that mommy is in no fear of lossing her job.
Well, the boots work well for keeping her feet dry. . . until she sits down in the puddle.
I do not worry about the carpet, as the floors are hardwood, and she has pretty much finished dripping by the time we get home from the park.
Of course yesterday was not all that warm, so she definatly chilled by the time she was finished playing. I did nearly scream when she stuck ice cold hands on my neck to take her in and put dry clothing on her. I am surprised that she did not leave little freezer burn marks on me.
(Oh. . . and CountrySong. . . the rule is if you take off your shoes we are done at teh park) Other than that. . . none of the rest of it really bothers me.
