6/10/21 – Can We Go On A Date?

When I woke up you were snuggled up with Daddy.

I woke you up and you got up and immediately did all your jobs. While you were doing your hair, you were putting in so many bows and saying “just wait til my friends see this!” Harry got to go to school for drop off. You hurried to finish your eggs so Harry could sit by you in the back seat. You were so excited to have him walk you to the gate.

When I picked you up you ran and jumped into my arms. You walked Ms. Jenny to show her a robin egg that you found on your rock and then asked her to come to our car to give her a paper you wrote “Love You” on. You told her “I’ve been waiting for days to give this to you!” You showed her your car seat, how you buckle one buckle like Mommy and how quickly you can do it. She was melting over how sweet you are.

I started to drive home and you said “can we go on a date like we did before? A day date?” I said “sure! Where do you want to go?” You said, “I want to go to downtown and walk around and see what I want!” We stopped at Il Panificio for pizza. You wrote a note in the car that said “Thank you for the pizza” to give to the guy when you ordered. He was surprised when you gave it to him and he said it was the nicest thing and he wished more people would do that! You also grabbed some rainbow cookies.

You directed me to drive south on Main Street and we ended up at Main Street Creamery. We ordered and you went to the table and wrote a thank you note to the lady who helped us. You also gave her an extra pen from my purse & told her you had an extra so you wanted to share. I am so proud of how kind and thoughtful you are!

When we finished you wanted to walk up Main Street and go to some shops. You found a blue beaded bracelet you wanted me to have and then we found matching Mama & Mini bracelets and a dolphin ring for you! I bought you the ring as a graduation gift. You were soooo excited.

We headed home to meet Daddy and when we pulled in the driveway Lauren & Captain were out and came over to play. You got out your bike and Captain followed you up and down the street! You wore him out!

We took Daddy to man night. You stood in the parking lot and called a family huddle. You said “here’s the plan… I will go with Daddy. Mommy you do your thing at TJ Maxx then come get me!” You hammed it up at man night and had cherry bombs! You told them all how hungry you were.

We headed home to get a snack. You tried the entire way to get me to stop at a restaurant for an appetizer (which you call an appetite!). I said no we need to go home. It was already 8:30p. When we pulled in the neighborhood, Ingrid was walking Benji so you asked me to pull over so you could say hi to them. You asked me if you could drive, so I let you sit on my lap and drive my car around the block. That made your day!!! You wanted to take a 2nd lap but decided against it when you realized you wouldn’t be able to watch TV if we did. You were so hungry you ate an entire grilled cheese! We watched a few minutes of Bolt and then as soon as you finished we headed to bed and you were out in two minutes.

I love you so much!
