Rain

It was rainy this week.  Thursday it rained and rained all day.  

I went over to babysit my sweet little boy and he wanted to be held.  I picked him up and we went over to the window and listened to the sound of the rain.  I told him in Spanish that when I was a little girl, we used to sing a song every time it rained.  

"What was the song you sang when you were a little girl?"

Then I sang (in English): Rain, rain / Go away/ Come again some other day/ Rain, rain/ Go away/ Come again some other day.  He smiled his dimpled smile and his eyes lit up.

"Again."

So, I sang it again.  And he asked again.  So, I sang it again.

It was a lovely moment.  Singing to a beautiful little boy in my arms, looking out of the window and listening to the rain.
