So I love those "Perfect Moment Mondays," and "Friday Night Leftovers." I even sometimes get an urge to write them. The problem is, Wednesdays are my Mondays, and I get the urge then. Saturdays are my Fridays and likewise.
Tonight, I experienced a beautifully perfect moment that I'm capturing regardless.
As I was getting out of the shower, I heard a downpour start. E adores water in any and all of its forms. I shouted out to Hub, "Wow! Big rain!" We hadn't had any in a while. When he didn't answer, I wandered out to the living room to find he and E standing under the porch roof exclaiming over the rain. E's eyes were huge, and he kept looking from us to the wet and pointing excitedly.
When the lightening started, we moved inside. Hub turned off E's bedroom lights so we could better see the water streaming from our porch roof. Daddy sat on one side of a mostly naked little E, and mommy sat on the other as he stood at the window gibbering excitedly. He would turn to each of us frequently, eyes shining as he pointed out this amazing phenomenon. We told him, "Rain!" over and over until he was saying surprisingly well in his high, sweet lilt, "wwwayan." It was such an intimate, warm family moment in the dark room. Hub turned to me and said, "It's wonderful sharing this with the baby, isn't it?"
Words really can't even convey it Hub. Thank you.

I so cried reading that (darn hormones) and can imagine just how sweet of a moment it was. It's those little moments of discovery that make childhood so amazing. Thanks for sharing, besides the tears I had a smile too! :)
That is a perfect moment!
TeamWinks who was too lazy to sign out of her gmail and into wordpres. sorry!
Feel free to do Saturday Night Leftovers or even Sunday Night Leftovers, no one will care. ;) I mean, I don't have an excuse and I do Saturday Night Leftovers all the time.
I can totally picture this. I love that baby. By the way, Elizabeth wanted E diaper cream and E pajamas tonight. (I was able to provide E diaper cream, but I do not know what she means by the pajamas.)
Thanks ladies! I appreciate it! Rebecca.. welcome in any form. :)
What a totally perfect moment. It is such a treasure to be able to experience life all over again through the eyes of a child.
This is a very sweet moment.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to add your link to today's Perfect Moment Monday.
(If you do mind, I can remove it. And you don't have to post on Monday -- you just need to add the link to your post between Sunday night and Tuesday.)
That is so sweet, and so perfect!

Your Perfect Moment reminded me of a faint memory I have of being held watching the rain, seeing lightening and shuddering at the thunder. I was probably 1 1/2 years old.
Thanks for sharing your Perfect Moment.

LOVE THIS! Made me a little teary, too. It's so awesome seeing them learn new things!
