When I got home from the gym & out of the shower, you still hadn’t come to my room, so I went to yours to check on you. You had on panties, standing in front of your closet, choosing your clothes. You asked me if I thought you were still sleeping and giggled. You did all your jobs and were ready early, so we played with your blocks for about 15-20 minutes before leaving for school.
On the way, I captured a little bit of our morning conversation. This is my favorite time of day and by far the most hilarious things you say happen in the morning. I always want to hear about your day on the way home from school, but you aren’t nearly as chatty as you are in the morning. Today was especially funny as you lamented having PE class!
You confidently walked up and in to school this morning. In fact you said “why do you have to walk all the way up with me? I can walk by myself!” I told you I have to walk you and I want to. You gave me a super quick kiss and disappeared into the school. I’m so happy to are so excited to go!!
I picked you up and when you opened the door you announced “I’m going to marry the kid with the space backpack!” I asked what his name was, but you still haven’t asked. You told me he’s in 2nd grade. OMG. We can’t be starting this early!! lol
When we got home from school, you were playing in the living room while I was making dinner. Out of nowhere, you were playing school and began reciting the pledge of allegiance and the Bay Haven pledge. It was so sweet. After dinner, we all played with your Duplo blocks and you assigned us all a color to build with. I ran food over to Grandma Weezie. You sent me out the door with a special seashell to give her from yesterday’s beach walk. While I was gone, you and Daddy played video games and then we all worked on this weeks sight words together. Daddy turned it into a class game where you got to be the teacher so you didn’t want to stop to go to bed!!!!
We finally headed to your room around 8:45p (we are usually asleep by now!!) and you were all fired up. Once I got you to lay still, I asked you what your favorite and least favorite part of today was. You said the worst part was when someone hurt you three times in class and you cried twice. Then, you said “the best part was when you picked me up and surprised me with a chocolate charcuterie instead of one with crackers!” You asked me to scratch your back and then drifted off to sleep.
I love you so much!
