I tried to wake you up for gymnastics but you didn’t budge. I was worried about the cut on your foot as well so I didn’t push it. You slept until 10am. When you woke up you came out to the living room and climbed on the couch. I gave you a kiss goodbye because I had a pedicure at 10:30a. You didn’t want me to go and worked out some fake tears. I explained that it was your turn for a pedicure last week so now it’s my turn.
You hung out with Daddy while I was gone and had so much fun. After you finally had breakfast, you took a bath. When I got home, you were STILL naked of course. I was able to get you dressed because you wanted to go on a bike ride. You were so happy that you were able to get your water bottle and take a drink WHILE riding for the first time. You were shouting down the street “this is my first time ever!” and were soooo excited!
We headed back home so I could make your dinner. Ms. Emily came to hang out with you so Daddy & I could go to dinner at Marina’s house. She was sending me cute pictures of you two and then she sent me a text explaining that she took you for a bike ride with Harold, but you weren’t staying where she could see you so you went home. You threw a huge tantrum, you went out the back door & went out the gate to the front yard. (you did that for the first time earlier today & I asked you not to do it again. I didn’t even know you realized there was a gate) You ran off from her several times and locked yourself in your room. She put you in timeout but it continued so she texted me. I called on Facetime to talk to you and you ran off out the gate again and got 4 houses away. She Facetimed me back when she got you home and we had a long chat about your choices. I was just going to come home but she said you were calming down. You were excellent after that and watched Soul and Tarzan. We came home and went straight to bed. You were allllll wired up and wouldn’t lay down. I finally just left the room. Daddy went to check on you and you said “thank goodness you are here to save the day Daddy!” He said, I’m not here to save the day. You better lay down and get to sleep. I never went back in there with you and when I checked on you about 30 minutes later you were snoring. I hate that you fell asleep alone. I just couldn’t continue to feed the attention you were seeking so I just had to leave. I have no idea what made you behave like this tonight. You were an angel for Daddy and honestly you almost always are. I was very disappointed to hear that you treated Emily this way but was relieved that once we talked you were back to your usual happy cooperative self. Tomorrow, we will talk about your choices and close your bike, which hopefully will send the message and help you make better choices next time.
I love you so much!
