8/13/21 – It’s Not That Far

This morning, you insisted on wearing a long sleeve shirt & pants. I asked you several times to consider changing because it’s so hot out. You said you would bring clothes and change them in the cafeteria before going out to the playground at recess. You said, “I can walk to the cafeteria, it’s not that far, so I can walk there with these clothes on!” I sent a spare set of clothes just in case, but I figured, this would be a natural consequence so I let you wear it and left it alone.

When I picked you up, you excitedly jumped in the car. It was just about to storm so we headed straight home. We made pizza and Grandma Noot brought Zephyr over to play with you. They brought an ice cream cake for dessert and you were pretty excited about it! You found something on TV for you guys to watch and when I looked over you were laying on his lap. It was soooo cute.

After dinner, there was a break in the rain so we took them to check on the house. You were showing Zephyr around explaining what each room will be. I was cracking up. What you were telling him was actually correct too, which was even better! You asked Daddy to bring you down to the grass. You were standing on the seawall with him and pointing to the fish jumping in the water. It was the sweetest photo of a tender moment between you two. I love it! When we left we drove by Bay Haven so you could show them your school, which you described proudly as we drove by.

We headed home and you made Zephyr participate in your performances. He had to wear frozen dress up shoes and shortly after they left and we headed to your room to read. You were soundly sleeping quickly, but it was late so that’s what I expected!

I love you so much!
