5/5/21 – Please Come Back & Snuggle

I woke up at 3am and couldn’t go back to sleep so I got up and worked for a bit in the living room. Around 5:30a you woke up and asked Daddy “what time is Mama coming back?” You must have seen the light from my computer and came into the living room, sat on me and asked “Mama, please come back and snuggle with me!” Of course I did! I laid down with you for a little bit then I had to pee. When I came back to bed, you were laying like a starfish & there was no room for me lol, so I went back to the couch. I had to try a few times to wake you up at 8am. When you finally got up, you did get up you got dressed quickly, you asked for pig tails & we hit the road to school.

I picked you up and we headed to gymnastics. In the car, you showed me your work from school. We arrived at gymnastics about 20 minutes early so we made a surprise visit to Daddy at his office. He was out in the shop and opened the door to see you running to him with open arms shouting “DADDDY!!!!” You gave him a huge hug and he showed you around for a bit.

We had to scoot to get to the gym. This was your first class back since Coach Nickie left and you did AMAZING. You stayed engaged with the class, did everything they asked, didn’t wander off or get frustrated. I was starting to question if you were losing interest for a while. I’m not sure if the break did some good or you like Trey the new teacher, but it was an awesome class! Daddy came to see you and when you realized he was there you were so happy and waved at him several times.

After class, we ran to Anna Maria Oyster Bar for dinner. You were excited to bring your Zenimal in and listened to the meditation while you waited for your order. By the way, you ordered both mac & cheese and a quesadilla and you ate almost all of it!!! You chatted with the server and were an absolute delight. A mom walked by carrying a baby and you stopped them, asked his name and said how cute he was! Ms. Sandy called while we were waiting for our food to come and I couldn’t get over how cute you were talking to her on the phone asking her “so, how was your day?”

We stopped by the lot on the way home. They are finishing the back fill. I can’t believe how much progress they have made in the last few weeks! I can’t wait to be there with you! When we pulled in our neighborhood, Ms. Mo was out walking with the gang. Daddy pulled over and you chatted with her. You ended up taking her for a drive around the block!!! When you got home, you had a banana, played school with Daddy and then we headed to bed. I thought for sure you would be out in no time but it was after 10p before you finally fell asleep!!! Crazy girl!!!!

I love you so much!
