It started out as a wet day. Rain comes and goes and leaves the grounds moist and the air drizzling. Jakjak loves this weather. I would say that I love it too, but mine comes with additional conditions apart from just the rain ... and that deserves a story all on it's own.
Jakjak has quite a few rainy day outfits depending on the amount of precipitation (this description comes from mum). One of his regular ones is simply his trekking hat and a green/white jacket (which needs replacement as it is getting small now). He usually looks smart in it and is quite easy to put on. Heavier days he adds his 'froggy' umbrella which we had bought from the zoo. It's quite small, considering that it only fits his head and shoulders, but I should say it's quite enough for a guy of his size. His Crocs do a good job keeping his feet squishy and wet, but he likes it that way, and it doesn't smell when it's all dried up. A heavy rain calls for a true blue raincoat that goes down to his legs. He pairs this up with a pair of Wellys (covered in Lightning McQueen colors no less - thanks ninang Mei-ann). It usually keeps him dry ... up until he decides to splash around in puddles ... which starts at the very first one he sees on our way out.
Anything heavier and we opt to just stay indoors. Which makes me miss the days when I can go out in the rain with my cousins and waddle in puddles with not a care that we are wet through and through. That was back in the day when the rain was pure and clean and that kids were allowed to bathe in the rain. Things have changed in years, but we still love the rain. In it or out of it.
