5/8/20 – Something Special, Something Cool

This morning, I got up early to get ready and get you packed because I had to get to work a little earlier than usual. When I got out of the bathroom, you were all snuggled up with Daddy on his side of the bed. Next thing I know, you took your night pants off, threw them on the floor and laid in bed pretending to sleep with a huge grin on your face lol. You are sooo silly sometimes. You woke poor Daddy up early.

You moved fast this morning doing your “5 jobs” as you call them – brushing your teeth, brushing your hair, getting dressed, eating breakfast & getting in your car seat. Today was Teacher Appreciation Day at school, so we gave gifts to your teachers. I picked you up and you absolutely ran to my arms. You were so excited to see me through the front gate. You couldn’t wait to tell me that you were in your same clothes because you didn’t have a pee accident! You told Ms. Marian all about your Frozen dress with “ice powers” in it that you will earn when you make it 7 days without an accident! You told her it has a battery right here (pointing at your lower back) and if you have a pee accident it will go “buzz buzz” and zap you!! She was cracking up laughing. You had been doing so well, but since the disruption with the coronavirus, you have had more trouble listening to your body.

You made me a Mother’s Day gift and you told me “hurry up Mama, you can open your really cool gift in the car. It’s beautiful, I made it!” You helped me open it & said “it’s something that I made that’s cool, it’s something special that I made for you and Daddy, not just you but Daddy too. Here’s an example of what I did. I painted all of this!” You said this is lever (lavender) inside of here….You painted a jar with flowers and there was a lavender satchel inside. You were right, it was very special and very cool!

“hurry up Mama, you can open your really cool gift in the car. It’s beautiful, I made it!”

We headed to my office & of course you made the rounds visiting the girls. Chrissy met us there and took you home to play with Baby Olivia while I finished my last closing. You were cracking up laughing at how cute Baby O’s outfit and sunglasses were. On the way to our house in Chrissy’s car, you were wearing Baby O’s headband (keeping it “safe” for her) and singing Rudolph. At the house, you were showing O how to play the drum, kick you soccer ball & ride your scooter. You had so much fun. When I got home, we made pizza & you played with O. They left so she could go to bed & we went on a bike ride to check the mail. We went inside, cleaned up your toys and did three Kids Lingos and two Italian Lingos. We listened to Toy Story 3 soundtrack & you were snoring in no time. We had a really fun day.

I love you so much!!
