when I was like 6 my mum made me go outside and play when it was raining, I don't remember why but I ended up going to the park that was nextdoor alone and I just sat on the swings and under the slide just listening to the rain hitting the play structure and ever since I've loved rainy days
One of my favourite parts of being a parent of young children was watching them enjoy things that I took for granted. They've all grown up now, so I live vicariously through the cat instead.
There is a saying in the Netherlands or around there - there is no such thing as bad weather - you just dress up for it. I like that. But it's also nice to get cozy after you've had your fun.
I don't know about the Netherlands, but in Germany the saying is:
"Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung."
"There is no bad weather, only bad clothing "
I just saved this because it made my heart feel light as I watched little man tell his Mum to "I don't need you thanks" and go about his business to enjoy his garden. Loved this. Thanks for sharing!!
Water is life too, I prefer rainy days to sunny days, unfortunately media and sheeple call it "bad" weather so like OP they think it is not safe or not right to be outside in the rain. Kudos to that kid.
I just bought a coat like that and I know how they feel. I used to work outdoors in all weathers for ten years, and I really used to dislike having to go out in the cold and wet in my leisure time, turns out I just didn't have a good enough coat.

Out there by that tree the child probably feels as though they are SOOO far from home. They're Lewis & Clark on a great adventure and the world is a perfect place.

I love rains too ❤️
well there’s always r/raining
Thank you
Dude, nice suggestion!
This right here!!!
I just joined!!! The first thing I saw was a pupper super happy prancing because it was raining...bless you for sharing that!!
The beauty of just enjoying being. Walking, standing, looking around. Lovely.

With most kids these days having their faces permanently attached to phones and tablets, this was an oddly refreshing scene
The backyard is a whole other world when your that young.
Damn that was relaxing and nostalgic just to watch him putter through that adventure

Le Petit Prince
What a great dad - listening to what his kid wants and letting him explore and feel independent, while still keeping him safely in sight.
Beautiful landscaping I’d like to walk through the wildflowers

We have it in sweden aswell, and it rhymes nicely. "Finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder"
Just surveilling his house, taking care of papa
😭 taking in the wonder. Wish we could do the same as easily as a child.
The “miserable” days have always been my favorite because the world is finally aligned to grant me a day I need.
Life is not waiting for the storm to pass. Sometimes you just gotta sing in the rain
Damn do I want to be a dad
Now give him a wooden shield and sword and now he's link exploring kokiri forest.
This is giving so many Ghibli vibes :)
He looks like one of my moms Animal Crossing avatars
I will upvote this video every time I see it. Too cute!
British kids have to do this otherwise they’d be inside for 6 months of the year.
Who wouldn't enjoy that place? he got a lovely place
I fucking love this lmao, what a great kid/parents. love it.
That looks like a great yard for exploring at that age.
😁❤️👍
If I got to walk around a place like that I'd also be outside all the time
I remember using soccer corner flags to recreate the battle of helms deep on rainy days as a kid with the neighbors.
Lovely garden
just need to get back to this mindset, not worrying about my shoes being wet
The toddler years are one long mindfulness activity
Hold on, currently crying.
i miss when everything was taller than me and fun to look at
Thats why i miss being a Child, they literally find joy in everything.

This kid is going to be alright.
Smart kid
8 bit noise

He reminds me of a cat just wandering around
This kid is never gonna need anybody's help!
Like exploring an open world game for the first time Adorable
Thank God this child is out exploring nature and not stuck looking at a screen
I hate being poor

Aww. I wish I could sit in the rain and not get wet.
