Thaw

The thaw came last night and already in the morning there was nothing left from this fairy-tale-landscape. The rain made its dibble dibble sound leaving plenty of tiny drops on all our windows. It was grey and dark good after 9 in the morning. But I decided we have to do something to make this day rolling. So we got dressed and weaponed with an umbrella, rain cover for the stroller and rain boots and ... off we go to the Myllynsiipi play park. This is this place for kids to play outside and inside with plenty of great toys. Wanda loves going there. We spent some time playing inside with her favorite cars and trucks and after a while we left. Outside there was pretty strong rain mixed with some snow, the snow on the ground was now more like a shallow pond and it was simply awfully. But unfortunately my lovely daughter noticed a sledge "mommy, I want a ride on this one!" - she shouted. OK, fine, a short ride and we go home - I said. Well, not that easy, not with a two years old, who happened to adore this aura. She saw another sledge and one more and of course she had to seat and be pulled on all of them. I was soggy and so she was. But somehow she was happy and full of energy. It didn't help me when there came another kids her age - full of joy with big shovels and started to play with that melting snow. "I want this shovel!" - shouted Wanda. And she run to the others to play. For the kids but also for their moms the weather conditions seemed not to make a big difference. I was the only one hiding under a small roof and waiting for the beautiful moment I will be home drinking my coffee.
Finally she came to me, happy and ready to go. Well, I think I have to adjust. The winter just started and always after white, sunny, snowy and frosty days there has to come a thaw.
