You went to bed so late last night (11p) that you didn’t want to get up to go to gymnastics. I woke you about around 8:20a and got you dressed and ready pretty quickly. You went to the bathroom to do your jobs…You ate your oatmeal in the car. On the way, your imagination was running wild. You were telling me about how there are meteors and that they things are kinda like Earth. You also told me about how school buses don’t have seatbelts, and neither do trees or signs or sidewalks lol.
We arrived at Evo at the same time as Charlotte. You were so excited to see her. There were a few more kids there today, so you both listened to Coach much better. You did a very good job – you almost did handstand! You held yourself up on the parallel bars with strong arms several times. You worked hard and had so much fun.
I had a hair appointment and was going to take you home to hang out with Daddy. When you found out I was going to the salon, you wanted to come! I wasn’t prepared for that, so we went to Whole Foods to get some snacks for the salon and for the boat when we finished. You wanted to go to the farmers market. You ate your muffin when we got to the salon then Brandy offered to wash and braid your hair. You were so happy about it. You looked so big with your feet hanging off the chair at the wash station.
We stopped by my office to sign a few things and say hi to Romo. We picked up sandwiches at Corkscrew Deli then met Daddy and the Chiappone’s on the boat. We had lunch then went swimming. You fell asleep on me for an hour & a half!!! I will take it, I am keenly aware there are a finite number of time remaining in my life where this will happen. I’m hanging on tight, because I will miss this stage terribly. When you woke up, you immediately jumped in the water to swim! Pam found a sand dollar and you were curious about holding it.
After swimming for a while, we docked at the Boathouse to grab dinner. We went to potty and wash hands before our food came. All of a sudden, half way through dinner, you wanted to go back to the bathroom. I thought you were just messing around. But, you pooped and told me “it was big big big big big big!” You were laughing hysterically about it lol. You really enjoyed playing mermaids and Frozen cars with Isabella.
On the way home we stopped for ice cream at a new place, Ann Marie’s Southern Cream. It was in Pine Crest so there was a lot of Amish Furniture outside. There was a cute kids picnic table and of course you chose the rocking chair. They also had out a set of checkers, so we played. You thanked the workers on the way to leave and they thought it was so sweet, they gave you another sample ice cream! You told me in the car this is why you wanted to ride with me and not Daddy lol.
We showered together when we got home. We all played with your farm animals in the toy room then you & I headed to bed to read books. We read 4 and then I’m pretty sure we fell asleep together. It was a long, fun day!
I love you so much!
