7/18/20 – Please Can You Try Not To Talk

This morning when you woke up, you snuggled with me and said “Please can you try not to talk. I’m not saying you can’t talk. I’m just asking you to try not to talk. Some people are trying to get ready and some people are trying to rest.” Daddy made breakfast for you & we were actually running ahead of schedule!

When we got to gymnastics, you insisted on wearing your new frozen mask, even during the class. You & Charlotte were the only two kids in class again. You were doing good, but then on the tumbletrak, the sillies got the best of you both & you started running around & not listening to Coach Lexie. I had to go down to the floor to get you to listen.

After class, we stopped by Daddy’s office so he could fix something really quick. You snacked on a banana. Then we stopped by the Caribbean BBQ food truck. He got ribs & got you a pulled pork sandwich, which was HUGE!!! You LOVED it! After lunch, you went with me to run errands. You were starting to get droopy eyes, and you told me you might fall asleep in the car, but you wanted to stay up to see the lights (meaning you wanted me to go to the car wash, which has lights inside). I asked you if we could go to Whole Foods first because it is on the way to the car wash. At first you said no, then you changed your mind and said “sure Mama, we can go to Whole Foods first, then to the lights.”

We shopped quickly because I knew you were tired. When we left, I started to drive to the car wash. You were asleep in the carseat within 5 minutes, so I turned around, went home, unloaded my groceries and planted all my plants in the pots we bought at TJ Maxx, all while you slept in the car! It was perfect timing! You slept for a little more than an hour. When you woke up, you yawned & stretched your arms & legs. You said “Mama, was that a good sleep?” It was perfect sweet girl!!

Grandma Noot came over to hang out with you so Daddy & I could go on a date. You were so good for her. You watched movies and played. She thought you were going to fall asleep before we got home. Of course as soon as you heard the garage door go up, you told her, “I want to go hug my Mama and Daddy.” It was off to the races. You were wide awake & it was almost 11:30p before you fell asleep.

I love you so much!!
