11/4/20 – Smiles For Miles

We had to get up extra early this morning because we had to take our Christmas photos with Alisa Sue this morning at 7a. I woke you up around 6:15a & you surprisingly woke up relatively happy, although slowly. I packed everything in the car last night to minimize what needed to be done this morning. You chose to ride with Daddy & you guys left just a few minutes before me. Unfortunately, you had to come back home to pick me up because my car battery was dead. I wasn’t thrilled that I had to move all the stuff I packed to Daddy’s car and that made us run a few minutes late, which I hate.

When we got out of the car, I realized I had forgotten to grab one box with our fuzzy white blanket and my shoes. All of our pictures just had to cut my feet off so you couldn’t see my flip flops lol!

You were absolutely riveting today. Every photo was a stellar smile and your eyes were lit up. We stopped at several cools spots downtown and every picture you took was great. You were so happy and snuggly. The look in your eyes when you were looking at us or kissing us was just pure love. Every photo she showed me in the camera was stunning. Twirly dress pictures, me & you kissing pictures, you hugging Daddy. All adorable. Then, you were complaining that you were chilly. It was a little cool & breezy, but I was surprised you were so frozen. Alisa makes you laugh every time she turns around, so she always gets the perfect shot. After we finished, we took Daddy to Five-O Donuts and then we headed to school. You told Ms. Amber at the gate that Ms. Alisa said hello!

I got this message from school. “This week at school we focused on corn. We discussed the different parts and the 3 different types. Feed corn, popcorn and sweet corn. They also worked hard strengthening their fine motor skills as the created their own multi color corn and plucked the kernels off the corn. We also worked on upper number recognition (10-20) with rote counting and one to one correspondence.”

At my office, a client stopped by to drop off a surprise for me. She painted a painting of you and I together and it was so pretty. It made me cry. The way to my heart is definitely through you!

Chrissy & Olivia picked you up from school. She said you didn’t look like you felt good. You were bummed because you thought I was going to pick you up. You were lethargic and didn’t eat any of your lunch, except a few bites of your sandwich. She brought you to my office and we ran to pick up my car at the dealership. When I got home, you were laying on the couch watching Toy Story. You ate some broccoli soup, but not a ton. You laid on my until I took you to bed at 8p. You wanted to watch Toy Story 2 in my bed. I told you it was too late and we would watch tomorrow. You said “ok Mama, goodnight.” I hope you sleep well & feel much better tomorrow.

I love you so much!
