I'm getting really good at singing "Rain Rain Go Away". Mommy and I take turns singing the lines of that song. It's been raining a LOT here lately. It is hard on me because I love to be outside playing "Pooh Sticks" (throwing sticks in the puddle), digging in the sandbox, blowing bubbles, riding my bike...
With all this yucky weather, I'm getting lots of time to do stuff inside. Mommy taught me how to play a fun game called Slap Jack the other day. I like to practice counting things. I can count to ten with a little help, especially getting past three or I'll just keep counting "one-two, one-two." I like to read books, like "Machines at Work" and "The Last Game" which I have almost memorized.
On rainy days we go to the library to see the girbils, watch the fish, play trains, stack blocks (I can stack all 9 puzzle blocks!) and put together puzzles (I like the shapes puzzle because I get to say "rectangle" - that's a big word). The other day I crawled in the oven in the kitchen set! It was nice and quiet in there when the other kids shut the door for me.
Speaking of other kids, there are always lots of other kids when we go to the playground at the mall or to play group. At the mall one little boy tried to come over to the wheel while I was turning it but I put out my hand to tell him not to come any closer, and it worked! He went away! I really like to play by myself. When we go to play group, I always ask Mommy to "Go home" but she never brings me. It's okay if it's only one or two friends, but when there are so many people I don't like it. And I really don't like being in a new house where I don't know the rules.
So now you know what I've been doing on these rainy days to keep busy in between watching Dora and Elmo. Hopefully we'll have more sunny days soon!
