Tomorrow, there is a 100% chance of rain in Manchester, NH. A forecast that eerily reflects the world’s current climate. Need an activity for your sweet honeybee?
Let them play in the rain.
Yes, your honeybee will get wet. Your honeybee will have mud all over their waterproof boots and somehow in their socks. They will have to change immediately once inside. Canned soup will be served as an impromptu snack, and so they will not want their dinner. They won’t take a nap because their hair is too wet. This will cause an issue at bedtime.
Let them play anyway. Let them explore a less than ideal sensory experience. Let them learn about sensible clothing and how to care for their bodies. Let them investigate the muddy puddle with an imaginary creature living inside. Let them find their balance with the slippery world beneath their feet. Let them fall and get back up on their own. Let them connect with the weather and build a respect for nature. Let them sing, dance, and find optimism during these unpredictable times. Let them be children. Let them make a memory.
Let them play in the rain…and join them.
