Today, finally, the heat wave let up a bit. There was a breeze, low humidity, and even some rain.

Ahhh!!!!

Poor One Philly Son has been cooped up in the house for much of the heat wave. #1 he's not even 2 yet, and gets flushed when it's "warm", let alone "sweltering". #2 his Mommy is pregnant, so doesn't do well with exertion right now, again, especially when it's sweltering.

So today, when it was livable to be outside again, we went for it!

We played in the park in the morning and One Philly Son ran (or swung, his favorite) for an hour straight. And slept for an hour on the couch when we got home.

Before lunch we did bubbles, water table, and chalk on the back porch.

After lunch, and in the rain, we did more bubbles. Though, to be honest, I think he was happy to just be outside again. He sat in his stroller, on the porch, going nowhere for about 20 minutes. I think he was afraid to break the spell.

Now that it's thundering he's sitting on the step babbling to himself. I'm happy he's not afraid of the bangs and booms.

I hope he's not too disappointed in another day when we're stuck inside again!
