I've been wanting to upload these photos to the blog for a few weeks, but have just been too busy with schooling and preparing for the move. So, finally, long after the puddles have dried, I present to you Katie Mei's first evening of puddle jumping. We had a nice, cooling late-day rain back in August and we had nothing better to do, so I took her out into the driveway to splash. The other two kids have done this numerous times, and I always enjoyed their very first puddle experience the best. Katie Mei found splashing me to be hilarious, but she was also amazed at making her own footprints when she got her feet wet and then walked on the dry part of the driveway. She did the same with her hands over and over.
She's also getting the hang of hopping, and practiced that a bit. But almost every time I tried to get a photo of her jumping she was already back on the ground. Her air time is very, very short. I don't think basketball is going to be one of her strengths. Only in the very last photo did I get her off the ground.
Here is a sampling of the photos I took of her. Enjoy.

So great to be able to share her joy via the pictures! Years from now you will be so pleased that you captured the moment for her. One day she'll be doing the same with her own child.
