There's a picture I remember seeing of myself when I was a little girl. It's a rainy day and I'm standing outside in my rain jacket holding my umbrella with a big smile on my face. I still love that feeling of being protected and shielded from the wet and cold under an umbrella. Feeling like you're inside a glass jar and you get to look out at the chaos around you while you're snug and cozy inside. It almost feels like you're cheating the rain- like you get to enjoy it's beauty without any of the hassle. I found two little umbrellas at the toy store and was hoping Lizzy and Peter might enjoy them as much as I do. I think Lizzy may understand how I feel. She likes to walk around in the yard under her umbrella, checking out the world. Peter seems to want to like it, but can't quite figure out how to work it yet. He keeps wanted to drag it by the handle behind him, and it's tricky for him to hold it over his head. I bet by next fall, he'll enjoy an umbrella stroll as much as I do.
