This rainy day.

It rained the entire day today.

And so, we were stuck at home.

I was a little concerned about how I should keep J occupied - we kind of ran out of craft materials.

But she asked to watch movies in the morning and I sat alongside, working on my photobook.

I completed the photobook.

Then we cooked some pasta together. 

She ate some and asked for milk because she was sleepy.

She didn't want to nap in the end.

She rolled all over the mattresses in her room instead.
I contemplated asking her to attempt some rainy day painting, like painting a rainy scene with fork while seated watching the rain.
But she was having so much fun, I didn't.
What I did instead, I watched her.

I watched her attempting somersaults, jumping up and down the bolster and pretending it was a bridge connecting both her mattresses.

Then she took her cat puppet and the cat did the same.

And she laughed.  And repeated.
It was a lot of rolling and jumping. I lost count of how many times I told her to be careful.

She finally stopped to wipe the perspiration off her head.

But she still didn't want to nap.

So I went to cook dinner. The whole time, she sat at her table, playing with her doctor's kit. I came out to see Ducky bandaged in washi tape.

While the soup cook, I decided to do something I haven't done for a long while.
I went in and held her hands as I sang "Beauty and the Beast" and danced with her. 

She sang along.
When we finished the song, she ran off to her room to get her tutu skirt so she could put it on.
"We are princesss(es). Mama has a princess dress too."
Right. I was indeed wearing a dress.

I was so thrilled when she sang along that I sang more Disney songs.

She sang along.
We can't really dance but we twirled and we skipped.
We held hands and swung from side to side.

This rainy day, there was no lesson plans.

It was all J-led.

But this rainy day, I had the most fun.
