1/31/21 – I Want To See Your Beautiful Face

You came to my room at 3am and asked me to come sleep in your room so of course I did. I woke up around 7a and just laid there snuggling with you & rubbing your forehead. When you woke up you asked if we could just stay in bed and snuggle. “I love snuggling with you Mama!” When I turned over just to lay the other way you said “Mama, please turn back over and face me. I want to see your beautiful face.” My heart melted. I missed you so much last week & I’m so happy to be back home with you.

We got up and made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. We got dressed and headed to meet Ms. Sandy at Shore on Longboat Key for lunch. On the drive you were telling me “I’m a fan of pancakes! Whenever I see them I tear ’em all up!” You ate so much I was surprised you were even hungry for lunch!

She was already seated when we walked in and you were so excited to run up to the table to hug her. You brought your computer and has a blast quizzing us on which animals were represented with each letter.

After lunch we went to Joan Durante park on Longboat and played for a long time. Your imagination runs wild and the things you say are just amazing.

We stopped at Kilwin’s for ice cream on the way back & at my office to pick up a shipment that came last week while I was away.

When we got home we played Lion King then watched a little bit of a movie. I took you to your room at 7:45p to read books and do kids lingos. Then we listened to a bedtime story podcast like you did with Daddy last week. You were asleep by 8:15p!

I love you so much!
