The girls rode in the stroller all of our first trimester--from August to December. It was the peak of the rainy season then and the stroller we have here has a wonderful rain cover that fits right over it. (Before living in Costa Rica, I would never have known stroller companies make elaborate rain covers to go on strollers.)
We have lived in a drought for several years and when we first got here, all of our kids were so excited to doodle around in the rain. They loved the rain and being out in it with their umbrellas, for awhile, then as with everything . . . the novelty wore off.
All except for the girls. They just couldn't understand why they couldn't walk home with umbrellas in the rain. Fast forward to January and the beautiful sunny days--we decided they needed their exercise (as they were trying to give up their afternoon naps--YIKES!) so they began to walk to and from school. At first it was hard for them, and now they have adjusted and walk everywhere and love it.
Tully went into downtown San Jose one day recently and bought them two cute umbrellas so that they would be prepared. Today was the first day it was raining as we walked home from school. Hope you enjoy the pictures of our two cute girls experiencing something new and exciting and feeling like big kids now!
