I Feel Happy - The Simple Pleasure of a Toddler

We went out for a trike ride initially. Then Jonathan saw a big puddle. Unfortunately he didn't wear his puddle boots. We went all the way back home (1 1/2 blocks away). He put on his puddle boots and went back to the puddle. I let him run to his heart's content. Not quite. I had to cut it after a while. We walked home through the back yard. After I stripped him down all the wet pants and drained the water out of his rainboots, he exclaimed:"I feel happy! I feel happy!" Such simple pleasure! All the cleaning and washing were worth it.



In the video, Jonathan imitated Sir Topham Hatt's (controller of the railway) voice in calling Thomas, the tank engine, who is known for "splish, splash and splosh into trouble". The Chinese dialogue is mostly me telling him to get on the grass when cars were coming.
