POD "It's Raining, It's Pouring and Inside is Boring"

What do you do when you have a 7 month old that LOVES, scratch that, EXPECTS to go outside immediately upon waking up from his morning nap... BUT... IT'S RAINING. Clearly he's not going to understand if you, very matter of factly, inform him that going out that day is impossible because of all that dreary wetness.

So what do you do when he starts fussing and whining and staring at the door?!

Here is a recipe for success:

Step 1: Dress whiny worm warmly. (You may need a sweatshirt too.)
Step 2: Layer tile floor with towels (they may get a smidge wet).
Step 3: Reposition toy selection to space near door.
Step 4: OPEN said door.
Step 5: Plop child in front of door.

Finished result should last approximately 10-15 minutes, which buys you just enough time to write a blog, in a few Pinterest items, or make sure you haven't missed anyting on Facebook. :)
