12/28/20 – Hey Boys, Watch This!

This morning you slept in until about 8:45a so you missed Daddy. When you got up you called him and he asked what you are planning to do today. You told him you are going to the bike shop to get a water bottle holder! You were so happy to talk to him.

I was taking down Christmas decorations and bringing boxes in from the garage. You wrote Dad on your chalkboard then said “I want to make a person of Daddy” and you drew him.

When I came back in from the garage, I found you had your door shut to your room and I could hear that you had your Alexa blaring Vivir Mi Vida (which of course I loved). When I opened the door, you were sitting on your couch coloring with your new marker set. You came to the kitchen looking for breakfast. You opened the refrigerator and after checking everything out you chose milk, creamed corn, strawberries and grapes lol.

We took several laps around the block then you wanted to go to the bike shop to get your water bottle holder. We stopped at my office to pick up some papers and you told everyone about your bike. Yulia, the mail lady was there and you got to thank her for the gift she gave you. You opened the trunk of my car and showed your bike to Amanda, Scott and Yulia. As promised, we headed to the bike shop. You were starving but kept saying you didn’t want to stop at Whole Foods for a snack. I promised you that I wouldn’t buy any other groceries, just your snacks and you finally agreed. You got a slice of pizza and a charcuterie pack. You inhaled the charcuterie on the way to Village Bikes. They had a cute pink bell and a cage holder for your handlebars, but no water bottle cages that would fit your Yeti cup. We both those things and the clerk put them on the bike for you. While you waited you were checking out all the bikes. You started to get impatient and asked really loudly if your bike was done yet. The guy very politely said “almost young lady.” When he finished, you rode your bike around the parking lot for a bit and then we headed to Pop Cycles to see if they had a water bottle cage. On the way, you were eating your pizza and then fell asleep in the middle of it! I was dying. You slept about 45 minutes. When you woke up you said “it’s a good thing I took a little nap, now I don’t have to take a nap at home!” I was laughing because you never nap at home anymore lol. Pop Cycles was closed still from Christmas break so we headed to Ryder bikes. They didn’t have the water bottle cage either! So, we headed out to the rainbow car wash then got gas. You opened the gas door, unscrewed the cap and pumped the gas. You are always very interested in what is going on.

We went back home to ride some more. Daddy was home when we got home because he wasn’t feeling good. We rode from when we got home just before 5p until 7p. I only got you off the bike because I wanted to warm up the food for dinner. You ended up staying in and eating. After dinner, we went back out and rode and found Ms. Moe, Jack Daniels and the whole crew walking. You were riding by the guys and said “hey boys, watch this!” I love how you involve yourself in any conversation! We rode with them until 8:50p.

We are going to Gaylord Palms tomorrow with Aunt Deb & Fed. I set out my suitcase to pack. When I turned around you had it filled with all the things you decided you are bringing! There were 82829493 Toy Story people, your Polar Express train, the Olympic gymnast Barbie Grandma Weezie gave you for Christmas and your ice cream shop. I was cracking up laughing because there was no room to pack any clothes!

We headed to bed at 9:45p which was way later than I was hoping, but you snuggled and passed out in two minutes after I told you you have to get to sleep or we will miss the Gaylord.

I love you so much!
