8/29/20 – Fun, Friends & Christmas Jams!

You partied hard at Auntie Rina’s last night so of course this morning you wanted to sleep in. Once I finally got you up, we were out the door to gymnastics without even having breakfast!! Baby Olivia’s first class was today and you were excited to usher her throughout the gym. When it was time for your class to start you were so upset to leave her that Coach Lexi had your class start on the floor with the Mommy & Me class so you could be with Olivia! As class went on, it was clear you were tired and hungry. You were upset very easily & even just laid on the mat crying for a bit. Coach Lydia came over to console you & she promised you a popsicle after class, which helped. When she brought the popsicle out at the end of class I about had a heart attack. It was all sugar & red dye! I didn’t say anything (which almost killed me but I was trying not to be “that Mom”) and when we got to the car I just said it’s messy & we can’t have it in the car. Plus, you hadn’t eaten anything yet to fuel your body!

After class, we went to fancy breakfast with Chrissy & Baby Olivia at Metro Diner then we went to TJ Maxx. You snacked on your leftover breakfast in the parking lot!!!! How can you possibly be hungry already??!!? Next we stopped at Whole Foods. You tracked your buddy Samson down aisle by aisle until you found him to say hi! When we were leaving, you saw hit gathering carts and waved, yelling Byyyyyyyeeeee Samson out the car window!! When we got home, we jumped in my bed because although you told me repeatedly that you weren’t tired, you definitely needed a snooze. You ended up napping almost two hours & slept til 5!

Ms. Sandy came over & we met Katrina & her boys at Lido Beach for a picnic & sunset. You immediately made friends with one little girl & you & Kingston played with her all night. The waves were a little bigger than usual because a hurricane hit Louisiana earlier in the week. All you kids thought that was pretty cool! Katrina buried you & Kingston before we left to get ice cream. We took Ms. Sandy to the new place we went to after the last time we were on the boat. Daddy let you try his root beer float & you were very proud to be the first one done! When we got home you took a bath played some more. When you got out, you picked your jammies and met me in the living room. You had on your Christmas jammies and the pants were a good 4 inches too short!!!!! Wow, you grew so fast!!! We had a late night because of your late nap, but the beach wouldn’t have been any fun without it!!!

I love you so much!
