Due to persistent thunder storms and, at last, hail, we did not get a walk in today.

Ian was fascinated by the hail. He’d never seen any before. He was a little unnerved at first by the noise, but once I explained that it was just ice, he couldn’t tear himself away. He was still talking about it at bed time! Michael asked if he was frightened of the thunder and lightning, but he really wasn’t. He asked “what’s that?” the first time, and then jumped up and down yelling “thunder! thunder! thunder!” I guess his inherent love of all things noisy helped him out there.
