Puddles

On the way to school Bella came off her bike on the footpath going around the playing field. She was hurt a bit, cut on her hand but not bleeding much, and her Little Mermaid top got muddy on one arm.
As previously mentioned, I told her she needed to get back on the bike as I was loaded up. She did get on for a little while but asked if I could wheel it, she wanted to walk. Must have been sore for her.
Approaching one of the more extensive areas of flooded pathway she was heading straight for it, I could see her intention was to wade through it. I didn't say anything, she wasn't in uniform, and she was wearing wellies, so no harm in 'plodging' through it (plodging is an old Geordie term for paddling). It took me a little while to get the phone out of my pocket hence why she is nearly at the end of the puddle.
Reason for her non-uniform and wellies was she had 'Forest School' at 09:00 so she was going to get dirty anyway, and most likely wet. Her change of clothes, school uniform, shoes etc. were in an additional bag I was carrying.
It certainly cheered her up after her spill on the bike.
