Sign of the Day - Rain

Recently the weather in Central VA has been filled with lots of precipitation. Katelyn loves it, I am apprehensive. The hearing aids make me nervous because they can malfunction in the rain, therefore she has to take them off when going outside on rainy days. Kate always walks outside and looks up with a questioning look. Recently she has begun pointing to the sky and putting her hands up to ask me "whats that?". Today is the day I have decided to try and teach her a weather sign. "Rain" is our beginning. I don't really think she got it, but it was worth a shot.

Rain is made by opening both of your hands flat with curled fingertips into a "5 shape" and bringing it up to your eyesight. Your palms should be facing the floor. This is an action sign. You have to bring your hands down to your waist, while stopping intermittently to represent rain drops. See below for a diagram:
