The Adventures of Schuyler and Charlie

rainy afternoon

 
 
 

Schuyler had ballet rehearsal to prepare for her evening performance.  This gave us a rare opportunity to spend some quality time with the boy.  But it was one of those grey days where you feel like England.  A characterless bleached sky, soupy air, and low, low pressure where all that pleases is a good nap and maybe  a movie that wasn't made by Walt Disney.  Fortunately for him, Charlie is new enough to this Earth to find a day like this genuinely awesome.  Just getting to go outside in the rain and (especially) under an umbrella was more exciting and scintillating than any movie.  He was thrilled.  The exuberance and energy he brought to enjoying the sprinkle of rain is an object lesson in how to live well on a grey day.
