9/8/20 – I Love You Even If You Don’t Like Cold Pizza!

We headed home this morning & you were a great help in packing up the car. In the car, you & Daddy ate a slice of cold pizza. You kept trying to get me to have a slice. I told you I prefer hot pizza. You said, “I love you even if you don’t like cold pizza!” What a relief! We made it home much faster than we did on the way down! No stops for you or Harry!

When we got home we unloaded the car and then went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. You were exceptional today! You ordered politely and chatted with the server. After lunch, we went to Ferguson to look at appliances for the new house. You were so interested in the options for faucets & then sat and colored so nicely at one of the tables while we continued to look. However, you completely freaked out in the bathroom because the toilet seat automatically raised when we walked into the bathroom. You were so upset that we went home. I felt bad that you were so scared.

When we got home Daddy read some books to you in your room so you could rest. You asked him to read instead of me. I kept checking in and listening outside the door, all of a sudden, I heard snoring, so I opened the door. I found Daddy fast asleep on your bed and you sitting next to him with 8,000 stuffies piled up! You sat on my lap in your chair and then we went to my room to watch TV and “continue to rest with my eyes open.” Then, we played Paw Patrol and Lion King. You helped me set the table while I was making dinner. You ate your crab legs (your request for tonight) then took a bath. When we went to brush your teeth, you told me “can you just go do something like put your nightpants on or something? I can do my jobs by myself.” We went outside to checkout the lighting storm. Someone rode by on a bike & you were all fired up about how “bike riding in the lightning isn’t very safe because it could struck him!” Just then Ms. Moe & Jack Daniels walked by so we chatted with them. You told them all about vacation and how Harry was crying in the night and woke Dad up and how “Mom & Dad watched TV and then I got up in the middle of the night! At the Condo.”

We went inside to read books. You asked me to read a new Disney book that we have. You snuggled up with me, put your legs on my knees and gave me lots of kisses. While I was reading Pinocchio, I said well that wasn’t a good choice was it (about him lying). You looked sad and said, what did I do mama? I said, not you!!! Pinocchio! You were asleep in just a few minutes. We had a fun few days and it was fantastic to get to spend time together as a family.

I love you so much!
