I was up late working on my letter to Ms. Sandy and you came out of your room around 1a. I asked you if you wanted to go back your room or to mine. Of course you wanted to go to my room but said “wait Mama, I’m hungry and thirsty.” You had eaten a good dinner and had cake, but ok… I got you a cheese stick and water and you took it to my bed. We snuggled as you devoured the cheese stick and you asked for another. While we were snuggling you said “you know what I noticed?” I asked what? You said “that you love me more than anyone else.” I said “you’re right. How did you notice that.” You said “because you love me past the moon, past the space, past Asia and back to your heart.” You feel asleep with the second cheese stick in your hand, head on my chest and legs draped over mine. You are right. I love you past the moon! I went to take the cheese stick out of your hand. You woke up, grabbed it and said “hey that’s my cheese stick you’re taking.” I said “well you fell asleep I thought I’d put it in the fridge.” You said “no, I’m trying to close my eyes and go sleepy town but I still want it.” You absolutely always know what you want!!!

You woke up earlier than usual which is great because today is picture day! We could use a few extra minutes to get ready! You did your jobs quickly because you wanted to play with your animals. You even had time to eat your eggs at home again!!! We snapped a few quick photos before we left and when we got to school Ms. Amber was so excited about your beautiful dress.

Daddy beat me home and when I was coming down our street I saw you both on your bikes having a blast. I gave you a huge hug and you told me to come ride bikes too, but that I needed to put on sneakers first! I changed clothes and warmed up dinner. Although you preferred to ride your bike rather than eat, I was able to lure you with baked beans lol. You took the bowl outside and ate in the back of Daddy’s truck.

After you ate, we surprised you with your Bolt scooter that you have been wanting for months!!!!! You were shocked and so excited. He showed you how to ride and operate it and you mastered it within a minute, as usual!!! You guys took a few laps around the block while I finished dinner. I couldn’t get you to sit and eat because you were so excited, so we went back outside to play with your giant bouncy ball. Franklin walked by so you chatted him up then Mike was out with the baby & you had to demonstrate your scooter abilities to him right away!!

We went inside and watched a show on Mars with Daddy. Of course you were starving now. You made a carrot scavenger hunt for Harold by breaking up carrots into pieces and “hiding” them around the kitchen and living room. You ended up eating a few raw carrots during the show.
