2Y1M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Kinder Nursery
Today, we did gymnastic in the room. This is the first time Yee tried gymnastic and she was lost. She did not leave my side. After that, she played with dolls. She played happily with her favourite dog stuff toy.
Long Way Home
June is a drizzling season in Japan. As I could not cycle with one hand (while holding umbrella with the other) like most Japanese, I decided to bring Yee's raincoat, umbrella and rain shoes for her. I believe she would enjoy walking in the drizzle. But I was very ... very wrong. Firstly, she refused to wear the hood of the raincoat. Secondly, she refused to hold her umbrella. Thirdly, she wanted me to carry her. I'm four-months pregnant and could not manage to carry her, her bag and umbrella, and walking 15 minutes home. I explained to Yee that I could not carry her while having to carry the bag and umbrella. Yee cried for a long time. So, there it was ... mummy squatting by the roadside with a crying toddler. Finally, Yee yielded and walked. It was difficult to shelter her and myself with my small umbrella.

By the time we reached home, it was 35 minutes and I was totally exhausted. And Yee ... yes my dear daughter ... when she saw me hanging her umbrella on the door knob, she wanted to use it ... after we were inside the house. I was so furious that I reprimanded her and took the umbrella away. Yee cried pretty badly. I ignored her and took a shower to cool down. While drying off, I heard Yee calling "mummy, mummy..." in her little sweet voice. Hearing that melted my heart and ther was no anger left. I just hugged my little darling and kissed her non-stop. She is the second greatest blessings in mummy's life ... of course, daddy is the greatest blessing.
