The Connett Connection

So, how many of you have been having dreary weather?  I think the only nice day we have had all week was while I was really sick!  My daughter asked if she could go outside today and play.  It had been raining all day long.  I opened the back window and it was still raining.  There hasn't been any thunder or lightening today and since it was really a heavy mist I asked her if she wanted to play in the rain.  She immediately said, "Yes!" She ran straight to the swing and began swinging, something she has recently learned to do all on her own without a single push. Learning to swing was something she struggled with for a long time.  She was just not coordinated enough to get all the motions down.  She now loves to swing and as long as the bugs stay away, she will swing for hours!
