This morning you slept in a little, but Daddy woke up in the middle of the night and had fallen asleep on the couch watching TV. To try to keep you in bed with me so he could sleep, we did “Kid’s Lingos” ( an English reading & writing version of Duolingo). You LOVE it. It’s really the first app I have ever downloaded for you. I saw an ad for it in the Duolingo app about 2 weeks ago or so. I wasn’t sure what it was about but thought we would take a look. I don’t want you going crazy for my phone, so I have never let you have any games or anything on my phone.
Finally, our new waffle iron arrived this week so we got to try it out this morning. You helped me make waffles and you measured and stirred all the ingredients. You put your new Frozen couch from Romo on top of the chair in the living room & sat there eating your waffle. We packed up after breakfast to head to Ms. Marcela’s house to swim. You had a BLAST!!!!! You had all your ducks out and kept catching bugs and taking them to the chicken coop to feed to her chicken. You played and swam so hard all day and also lounged with me in her huge “boat” raft. We left around 3:30p and you were passed out in the car in no time. It was way too late to nap, but I still let you sleep for an hour so you wouldn’t be too tired to watch a movie tonight. All week you had asked to watch Toy Story 3, but it was just too late each night. If you hadn’t napped there’s no way you would have made it through a movie.
Daddy made a steak on the grill & you ate about half of it lol. You brought your Frozen couch and put it by the bar to sit it and wait for fork fulls of steak, like a baby bird waiting for a worm lol. While he was cooking, we were dancing to Bomboleo by Gypsy Kings. You love them now that you have discovered Hay Un Amigo En Mi.
After dinner, we watched Toy Story 3 and you ate more snacks (after a huge dinner)! We went to your room, did 2 Italian Lingos & then read If I Ran the Zoo. I can’t believe how much of this book you have memorized. It’s a pretty complex book! You never cease to amaze me. You were still awake when I finished so we read Sneetches. You fell asleep, so when I finished, I pulled the covers up to your shoulders (you HATE covers when you are awake, so I always cover you up before I leave) and then I kissed your forehead. As I opened the door, I looked back at you and your eyes were open!!!! HOW!?!?! You should be out! I laid back down with you & you were out in just a few minutes. I have never regretted reading and snuggling with you to sleep. I’m in no rush to push you to independence and I always want you to know that I will be there for you no matter what… no matter what time, day or night… no matter what you need… no matter what.
I love you so much!!!
