I'm not even too picky about what she's wearing as long as it isn't anything special and she won't end up cold. lamariniere on "There's a giant mud puddle..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-a-giant-mud-puddle#post-2606942 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 06:29:48 +0000 lamariniere 2606942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @SugarplumsMom: This is how I feel. As long as they are dressed appropriately, especially footwear, it's ok. But if not, they have to stay out of the puddles.

The other day we had a lot of rain so DH and ds went out to splash while it down poured.

At preschool, they pretty much let the kids swim in the puddles! But they're always completely covered up, so they don't get *so* dirty. Mama Bird on "There's a giant mud puddle..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-a-giant-mud-puddle#post-2606868 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 22:07:06 +0000 Mama Bird 2606868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'll encourage the puddle jumping :grin: We live in the city and I notice that DS has been so well schooled that everything is off limits, he doesn't really explore anything outside. I think it's my biggest failure as a mom so far... so it might seem weird, but I actually try to encourage him to get dirty if it means being out and about.

But water/ rain puddles yes. She loves it. She even knows which shoes she is allowed to do it in (not her favorite special sparkly shoes or sneakers, but all her summer shoes are fine).

Clothes can be washed, bodies can be washed.

With my oldest we lived right by a school and the kids would all go crazy on the playground during the summer after a rain. It was fun but once winter came it was a little harder to say noooooo it is 35 degrees and you will become a miserable Popsicle if you get wet. mrsbubbletea on "There's a giant mud puddle..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-a-giant-mud-puddle#post-2606849 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:22:25 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2606849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If you are gonna jump in muddy puddles you must wear your boots! -peppa pig. catomd00 on "There's a giant mud puddle..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-a-giant-mud-puddle#post-2606845 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:20:19 +0000 catomd00 2606845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wouldn't care unless we were going somewhere nice and didn't have a change of clothes. Not really a big deal though. Mrs. Sunshine on "There's a giant mud puddle..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-a-giant-mud-puddle#post-2606844 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:18:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2606844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually. If we're trying to get somewhere I obviously attempt to stop it but otherwise I really don't care, we can always change clothes! PinkElephant on "There's a giant mud puddle..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-a-giant-mud-puddle#post-2606829 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:00:21 +0000 PinkElephant 2606829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not if we weren't planning on being filthy! They're often allowed if they're in swimsuits or play clothes and we are going straight home (i.e., we are going to the park and it poured yesterday - I know it's gonna be dirty! Or if it's raining and we specifically put on boots and go on a puddle stomping walk around the block).

I read a list of things that you should let your kids do (things that will mean a lot to them) and letting them jump in puddles was one of them. For some reason that always sticks with me :) Bao on "There's a giant mud puddle..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-a-giant-mud-puddle#post-2606624 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 17:39:21 +0000 Bao 2606624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Your LO is about to jump into it, do you let them, or stop them? We let our kids if we aren't trying to go somewhere where we need them to be clean! We have a few that form in our driveway (mostly just water, not mud) that they love to jump in after it rains!
