Rainy Day

It was pretty much raining the whole day today. I went to my classes while Alexa got to play with Annie, (my cousin's baby). Then later in the afternoon Alexa and I were home, and I was trying to think of something to do to pass the time. I started cleaning Alexa's room a bit and putting away the clothes and shoes that were too small, and Alexa found this bear bag with a ton of different outfits for this little stuffed bear. She has seen it before, but it was awhile ago so she thought it was pretty cool. Then she started to dress her bear up in her swimsuit and cute matching headband (with my help). She then packed two play purses full of who knows what, took her stoller and her bear and said, "we're going swimming, wanna come?" So I played along and said "yeah, let's go swimming, where's the pool?" (It was downstairs). She really wanted to go outside in the rain to "swim" but that wasn't going to happen. So we started to pretend to go swimming in our front room then the pool moved to the kitchen and back again to the front room. Alexa then got really into it and wanted to put her swimsuit and swim cover on. THEN, she told me to get my swimsuit on! I pretended to put on my swimsuit and go swimming again, but that wasn't good enough for her. She went upstairs and grabbed my actual swimsuit and told me to put it on. I tried to put it over my clothes, but oh no, that's not how you really wear swimsuits! Anyway, being the amazing mother I am ;o) I ended up really putting on my swimsuit and Lexi and I had a swimming party in our front room. Then we had a little picnic in the pool (dinner). Anyway, Lexi has quite the imagination and I love it! I do wish she could have another playmate/sibling her age to do these things with, but for now, while baby brother is still growing, growing, I'll take that place! :o) Lexi sure does know how to make a rainy day fun!!!
