2/9/21 – I Gave You Candlelight!

Daddy had to leave early today for work & you even though you woke up at 7:15a you were still too late to see him before he left so we sent him a picture from bed! You ran and got yourself dressed…finally in something you haven’t worn yet. I feel like half your closet you haven’t worn because you want to wear the same dresses all the time! You brushed your teeth and we did your hair and you had plenty of time to color before school. You made On the way to school you brought your coloring book & markers & colored the whole way there & I had to wait in the parking lot for 10 minutes so you could finish!

I got this message in the Sandbox App today:

This morning Giovanna used her visual discrimination and fine motor skills to identify and find the letters of her name to lace and hang up in the room. Later she chose to go to the sensory tray to exercise her phonological awareness by finding rhyming picture pairs! Great job, Miss G!

At the end of the work day, I was feeling a scratchy throat coming on and just not feeling great. When I got home, I made dinner & we started on your camping themed Koala Crate with Ms. Sandy a little before she left. We built the fire pit and it also came with felt smores. Daddy came home so you showed him what we did & then we ate dinner.

Around 7p I really started to fade. You told me “Mom, go rest!” You took me into my room, told me to lay down, then gave me a 30 second foot massage! You left and made Daddy lay on the floor so you could rub his feet too!! When I came to check on you you told me again “Mom, go rest!” You came back to my room, rubbed my back with lotion and told me “you better have closed eyes!” You brought in your light from the fire pit craft project and set it on my nightstand. Then you told me “I gave you candle light you should be asleep. Here, I will give you a little kiss! Now close your eyes and go to sleep!” You actually did relax me and I fell asleep around 8p. Daddy took you to bed & you read books. When he asked if you were going to snuggle with him you said “no, Mommy only.” You asked him if you could go snuggle with me & he said yes, just don’t wake her up. You came in my room and we snuggled for a while. You kept fidgeting and talking and I kept asking you to be still and quiet since I didn’t feel good. You ended up leaving my room around 9:30p and going back out to the living room. You asked Daddy to go snuggle with you in your room. You were out in 5 minutes!

I love you so much!
