8/27/21 – Teddy Bear Picnic

You came to my room around 5am and snuggled up & went right back to sleep. When you finally got up around 8a & you wanted to snuggle with me on the couch before getting dressed.

You were excited to take Jackie outside to go lizard hunting. She came with us to school and we hunted there for a few minutes before school started. After not having success at home or school, you were really upset, didn’t want to go inside and almost missed the gates closing! You talked back to me on the steps which really made me sad, I never want your day to start out that way.

You got to take your Italian teddy bear for the teddy bear picnic today at lunch. You made a bear headband and were so excited to eat lunch outside today. Today was also your first visit to the library. You checked out a book about the Buffalo Bills. You told me you chose it because it reminded you of Daddy & the Steelers.

When I picked you up, Ms. Wolleon helped you in the car. You had all sorts of stories and told me all about your new friend with the space backpack but you still don’t know his name! We had to stop by Milan’s Jewelry store because he changed my watch battery. You didn’t want to come in, but I couldn’t leave you in the car. When we got inside, you saw Ruby, his dog and we stayed about 15 minutes while you played ball with her. Aren’t you glad you came in!!!! We stopped home to unload the car with school/work stuff, change into swimsuits & grab ziti to drop off to Grandma Weezie. She made cupcakes and wanted to share with us!

We headed to the Meadows to swim. Daddy met us there along with Chrissy & Olivia. You were working on writing words with Daddy while you waited for Olivia to come before you would get in the pool. You immediately went to a lady in the hot tub and told her about your strategies for catching lizards. We ate, swam, laughed and then had some of Grandma Weezie’s cupcakes before heading home. When we got home, you showered & we read the library book. You snuck 3 Babybel cheeses into bed and giggled as you ate them. When you fell asleep, the wrappers were all over the floor & nightstand! I was laughing!

I love you so much!
