9/23/20 – I Really Needed The Rest!

You slept in & Daddy had to wake you up with tickles. When you finally got up, you ran & locked yourself in your room so you could get dressed. You told me not to come in until you were dressed.

You sat down on the couch with Daddy and told him that you like the news & wanted to watch it. We both laughed out loud about that. You usually laugh at him for watching the news.

You insisted on bringing your baby to school. Then you were mad when you got home and the baby wasn’t there.

You had a great day at school. When you got home, Ms. Sandy helped you build your cars project from your latest Kiwi Crate. You told her you want to be a Dr. when you grow up so you can hold a girl baby and take care of her. “I want to be a Mama Doctor” is what you told her!

When I got home from work, I told you Chrissy & Baby Olivia invited us for dinner at Mi Pueblo. I needed to pick up my credit card, which I left there last week when we took Jackie. You think it is crazy that I forgot it & you have told everyone we have talked to lol! On the way, I asked what your favorite part of today was. You replied, “my favorite part of today was nap time because I really needed the rest!” I about died….I never expected that to be your answer lol! At one point you were really upset because you didn’t want to stay and eat, you wanted to go to Benderson park to swing your baby doll on the swings. I completely forgot that last night, after dinner you wanted to go to the park & I told you it was too late, but I promised you we would go right after work & have a picnic at the park. You wanted to run in & get my credit card and leave without eating! Once you saw Olivia, you got happy again.

When the waitress came, you ordered your dinner and said “I’ll have the quesadilla please. I’ll have rice please but no spicy! I don’t like spicy!” You just seem so much older than you are in situations like this. I love it. I love you. You are remarkable.

As promised, we stopped at Benderson on the way home and you got to swing your baby. You made friends with a little girl who caught a tiny lizard & she let you hold him. You were not happy when we couldn’t bring him home! This was the first time we have been to the park since everything closed in March for COVID. You had so much fun playing and running. It felt great to be there. Of course as soon as the sunset, the bugs came out & then the lights went out so we had to go.

You served us groceries when we got home. You told Daddy you were Chef Giovanna and you mixed up all your ingredients. You said “Probably it’s gonna be a little spicy but not so much. It’s roseberry coffee with marshmallows mixed up with mashed potatoes.” You then asked me 4 times to make you a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. I kept saying no, but then you ate cheese, a bar and you were still asking, so I made one. I thought there was no way you were hungry but you wolfed it down!

Then you read books to Harold and we went to your room to go to bed. We read, did Lingos and listed to music. This was another fabulous day with you my love.

I love you so much!
