5/17/20 – Siesta Sunday

After the day we had yesterday, we slept in again today. We got up again around 8am, got dressed (you insisted on wearing your Easter dress, which I could NOT get you to put on Easter Sunday lol) & then ran to Whole Foods to get food & snacks for our beach day. You love to ask the clerk at the entrance for a mask. You are fascinated with them! We got home, packed up our cooler and hit the road. We were meeting Aunt Deb, Fed & Grandma Noot at Siesta Beach. When we arrived it was so packed, it was like 4th of July. Absolutely no parking. We had a quick picnic lunch before Janice invited us to her condo which has a private beach.

When we got to the beach you immediately ran to the water with Fed & jumped right in. You had so much fun playing with him all day. We were floating around on a pool noodle & you were telling me how much you like the private beach and first class when you fly lol. You were floating on a chair and going up to “scare” Daddy & yell boo! Fed made a sand mermaid tail for you too! Janice came down to hang with us and she brought you a surprise – ice cream bar! When we walked up to the beach I told you she brought you a surprise and you said “everyone should bring me a surprise treat!” lol

Everyone should bring me a surprise treat!

We left at 7p & you fell asleep hard in the car on the way home. You rinsed off at the beach shower before we left, but your face was still super sandy. I got a washcloth and wiped your face off to clear the sand before taking you in the bed because there’s no way I could give you a shower. When I laid you and then you rolled over & I said “do you wanna put night pants on ?” You said “no, I’m not going to sleep just yet.” I literally giggled out loud. You were out in 2 seconds. Today was so awesome. We got to slow down, to be in a beautiful place, enjoy our family and connect with each other. It was so perfect. You spent time with all of us at different points throughout the day. I was so happy to see you getting quality one on one time with everyone.

I love you soooo much!
