El Nino Strikes Again!

Yesterday, Rai, you were the first to notice that water was falling from the sky. As I held you, you took on a perplexed look, your nose twitching slightly, looking around and then up. Each time a drop of rain fell on your cheek, you would close your eyes and shudder with surprise.
Our good friend El Nino is back in town, bringing with her the winter rains. Not to fret, my little boy, you're well prepared. First, you've got your big rubber boots. You also have that bright yellow rain jacket.
The forecasts call for some serious rains, winds, and even snow, though. Are we prepared for the biblical floods that we may be faced with? Doubtless. Your new inflatable bathtub doubles as a tiny raft so even if your Mom and I end up trapped on roof of our home, you can paddle out to pick up provisions. I've said it before and will again: it's never to early to put you to work.
