Rainy, Cozy Day

I am sitting here on this rainy day with my 2 year old mister Eli, wondering if the day could get any better! I woke up early due to Eli saying "Mama, Mama, helllOOOO!" under his bedroom door at 5:15 am. He can't turn the door handle yet, and that is a blessing because at 5 am in the morning, I don't want him running around the house. I should have just ignored his yelling because he probably would have just assumed I was sleeping and gone back to bed. But out of habit, I just got up and opened his door, hoping to just lead him back into his bed to go night night. Oh no, he was pissed. He started thrashing, he screamed over and over. Wow, I have a strong little man! Since Cory was going to get up anyway for work, he had me go back to bed and took over. I should have just gotten up because for the next hour in bed, I couldn't sleep since Zoe was kicking me in my pregnant belly the whole time. Eli came into my bed awhile later and cuddled me for a bit, then literally kicked me in my face- TWICE- then cried loudly that he was sorry after realizing he hurt me. That will wake anyone up for the day, guaranteed!

I have been up with Eli just hanging around the house, cleaning up, making breakfast, wiping his nose, washing his hands a half dozen times on the step-stool in the bathroom, giving him his daily, coveted gummy vitamin and singing praises to the gummy vitamin for it's goodness. Then we watched the Leapfrog Phonics Farm show on Netflix and Eli told me all the letters and their sounds. When we got to "J", I told him J was the first letter of my name, Jessica, so he then walked around the house saying "My name! My name!" so that was a huge success, lol.

I was thinking it was just a hum-drum day. Until I realized it is such a beautiful rainy day and I was taking it for granted! I remember working outside the home for years and on rainy days like this. I would always DREAM about how I wished so badly I could stay home and cuddle up with a cup of coffee while watching the rain fall outside. And now I can! So that's what Eli and I are doing right now. I'm on my laptop, he's on his toy laptop and we are sipping our drinks and enjoying this rainy day. I am excited to blog today, just to blog, with no agenda.

I hope you moms, and everyone else, can enjoy the day as well, and just enjoy today without hurry.
