Yesterday it was raining outside..and earlier my son asked me if we could go outside and play...well I was busy at that moment. WHen I got unbusy it was raining. Well I told him to get his shoes on and meet me outside. My fiance asked me what I was doing. I told him, "Im gonna go play ball with my son." Anyways, he thought I was kidding. Well we came back in about 20 minutes later. SOaking wet but we had lots of fun. Has anyone else done this? Will anyone else do this?

That is awesome. When I have kids, I will do what I can to keep my word. If it's just raining, you know not crazy storming, then it's not going to hurt. I think he'll remember that when he needs it most. That is seriously cool....you're probably a fun mom...:)
