Nathan and I were outside on the deck and he started waving his shovel around, yelling, "Away rain!" He was telling the rain to go away or else. Well, it was only lightly drizzling anyway but the rain did let up a little bit. The next thing I knew Nathan was dancing around with his shovel, calling, "Back rain!" Meaning now he wanted it to"Come back."After that, he started calling out "C'm 'ere spider!", repeatedly and with the kind of tone you might coax a kitten from underneath the bed. There weren't any spiders around that I could see; all I could guess was that the rain had stopped and now he wanted the itsy-bitsy spider to climb up the waterspout again. The cuteness factor on this little boy is what gets me through the day--when I'm cleaning up forbidden marker messes or picking up his toys/books for the millionth time or...well, you get the idea.
