We all went to bed late & we all slept until 9am! We all needed it! We got up & you helped me make pancakes then we played with your Little Mermaid toys for a long time. Daddy wrestled with Harry & he was growling. You said “I wanna get in the game!” You are fascinated with playing “pull my finger” with Daddy, even though you know the whole house is gonna stink lol!
It took a long time for all of us to get moving today and even longer for you to get dressed. When you finally did put your dress on, you came out wearing your fuzzy winter Ugg boots! It took some convincing to get you to change because it’s 95 degrees today! We finally got moving around 1p and headed up to the Outlet Mall.
You were happy to be shopping and walked all around Children’s Place choosing what you wanted. Your desire for independence is higher than ever now. You walked hand in hand with Daddy and you two were so cute. He even helped to fix your braid. You were starting to get hungry and you were looking a little tired on the drive up, so it was no surprise that you fell asleep on the drive back.
We met Grandma Noot for dinner at The Hub on Siesta Key. I woke you up after about 30 minutes of nap because I didn’t want you to sleep too late (it was already 4:30p) & the sky was getting ready to open & I didn’t want us to get soaked!! You were still a bit sleepy and resting in my arms for a while. You were a little grumpy at first, but you came around once she arrived & once your food came. There was a table of 6 or 8 ladies celebrating a birthday and you wanted to go over and tell them happy birthday. It was so sweet. All of the ladies thought you were so adorable and sweet & one of them gave you $5. You were so happy about it, but you were telling them that you broke your piggy bank. (I’ve since ordered a new one, but it hasn’t arrived yet!) You will be so excited once it comes! You were like a little bartender pouring margaritas for us. After dinner we walked across the street to a gift shop that had lots of flamingos that you wanted to show me & Grandma Noot. You were trying to get a shark outlet cover and were cracking up laughing about it.
On the way home, you were singing “where is Grandma Noot? I really love her. She totally smoked us because she got buckled up first!” She was driving right behind us, then when we turned on Fruitville & she kept going straight, you were rubbing your eyes and crying saying “I want to go to Grandma Noot’s house!” You love her so much & she absolutely adores you. I love to watch you two together.
When we got home, we played for about 20 minutes, you were excited to wear your new flamingo slippers that she got you, then we headed to your room for books & Lingos. You were asleep within 20 minutes. We have both had several late nights & early mornings and we were both tired!!!
I love you so much!!!
