She wakes to the sound of rain hitting the roof.
At first you think she's going to be heartbroken.
Heartbroken because it's too cold to splash in the puddles today.
Her tiny heart crushed because she can't dance with the raindrops.

And then a smile appears.
Her eyes brighten.
She's thrilled just being able to watch from the warmth of the house.
The little explorer is satisfied just from watching the puddles form in the yard.
Watching the water splash off of the fall leaves.

A smile. A laugh. All is right in her tiny little world.
It's better than T.V. It's better than splashing.
Mommy let her climb to the big window.
This is enough.
This is all she wanted this morning. This and cheerios.
And my heart is warm knowing she is happy.

Today I'm linking up with Emily for Grateful Heart Mondays.
I'm grateful for moments like these with my kids. I'm grateful that they enjoy the simplicity of watching a rainfall from the window. I'm grateful they can appreciate the little things. I love that little moments like this give them such joy. Joy in nature, joy in life.
Let's not forget the little things in life this week. Let's just enjoy the sound of the rain hitting the roof and watching the puddles form through the window.
