11/15/20 – My Memories Have To Go Away At Night To Make Room For My Dreams

We were supposed to have another Santa experience photoshoot this morning, but I called to reschedule because you were up so late and I didn’t want to wake you early. When you finally got up, we had breakfast then you played Uno with Aunt Karen on the lanai.

We decided to head to Siesta Village for lunch at the Hub. Of course these late nights are catching up with you and you fell asleep in the car on the way there. I carried your tired limp body into the restaurant and you slept on my shoulder for about a half hour. When you woke up, you asked to sit in your own chair and you were laying your head back resting. After lunch, we were walking around checking out the shops. You put out your hand to grab mine to cross the street and you said come on Joneses Boneses (like Daddy always calls me). It made me laugh hard. You picked a dress at one shop and a mermaid sign at another. We then stopped for ice cream and we were all sitting on a bench eating our ice cream. You sat on the wall next to an old man and you chatted him up immediately and he was cracking up at you. On the way home you were talking with Aunt Karen. She asked how you remember how to get to the beach. You said “I don’t know, I just do. But my memories have to go away at night to make room for my dreams.” You had her giggling and then you were putting your umbrella up in the car protecting her. She couldn’t get over all your conversations and your imagination. It was so good to see you with her.

When we got home we ran to Whole Foods so we could make pizza. You were not happy because you wanted to buy a grocery cart toy and I said no. A random lady offered to buy it for you & I thought she was just being nice. Kylie said no, she had a dog and said the dog was scared by your crying so she was just trying to quiet you down lol. You played with Daddy while I made pizza. Then before it was finished, you were snoring on him at 7:15p. He put you in your bed and I assumed you were out for the night. Around 8:45p you came back out to the living room crying and looking for pizza lol. You ate and then Aunt Karen asked if you wanted your water. You said “no, I’ve got to go to my room and go to bed” lol. When snuggled in your bed and you were out in no time.

I love you so much!
