It has been raining... I don't particularly enjoy rain. I get all doom and gloom and everybody is hiding from me.
"Rain, rain go away..."
It's not that I am extremely outdoorsy, it's just that i like having that option. After being cooped up inside 4 walls for a while I am ready to climb them. I NEED TO GET OUT!
My way of dealing with rain is to go to bed and sleep through most of it. My daughter's way is the opposite. All of a sudden she comes out with all sorts of noisy, active games. We are experiencing monster attacks and hundreds of marching bands just to name a few. Also she always wants to go outside and jump in the puddles which sends a message to my rainy-drainy brain that I'll have to do laundry tonight as well.
If I had as much energy as she does I would conquer the world by now.
So while I was reading the news I heard an optimistic voice"Mommy, let's dance!". "Dance? That's the last thing I want to do now", I thought. But I gave it a try.
I pulled our educational preschool songs, put the CD inside the system and unwillingly turned around to meet lightened up face of my pumpkin.
We were dancing it away till the CD stopped then I played it again twice after that. We had so much fun! It felt like we snicked out for our girls' night out! It was our little secret party. We had our bonding time!
Not only it was simply a good time spent together, my daughter refreshed some basic concepts that were long put away on the back shelf of her brain. And as far as me...I got my cardio out of the way! LOL
It was pretty silly but what don't we, moms, do for our kids and their well-being! And by the time we finished fooling around, the rain has stopped. Freedom!

I love dancing with the kids. They come up with some crazy moves :) Visiting from SITS
Sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon! Although I'm usually the one who wants to sleep rainy days away too.
I love to dance, and now so do my dudes. And, you're right, it's a great way to sneak in some cardio. Really dancing and the opportunity to get a pretend workout are the only reasons I can stand to watch Hip Hop Harry every day. Thanks for stopping by my place, come back any time:)
I saw your comment on my page and couldn't wait to check out yours! I love dancing with my little guy too! There's nothing better than just spending quality time together. Sounds like your rainy day brightened up pretty nicely after all!!
Thank you, guys. I see you all love to dance. Let's shake it, girls! LOL
