You got up around 8a and came out to the kitchen. I was making your lunch. You asked me to come to your room to snuggle for one minute, then play tiger cub for one minute, then brush teeth, then tiger cub for one minute. During breakfast we had a dance party and took turns picking songs. We sang and danced to Beach in Hawaii, Burning Love, Sweet Caroline, Brown Eyed Girl, My Girl and U Can’t Touch This. We danced, hugged and laughed. I love these mornings with you.
As we walked up to school, we were still dancing and singing U Can’t Touch This. You said you wanted to sing it to Ms. Wolleon. I told you she might be too young to know it so you should let her know it’s a song lol. I sent her a message in Class Dojo to give her a heads up so she wouldn’t think you were being disrespectful. Apple week continued and you guys learned about Johnny Appleseed today.
Daddy picked you up from school today because I had a 4p closing. He brought you to my office so you could have a snack. While you were there you found the Maui fish hook for Daddy’s Halloween costume and your Moana costume arrived. When I finished, he went to the gym and we went to Whole Foods to pick up stuff for dinner. You were so excited to try it on. In the Whole Foods parking lot you decided you wanted to go to the beach so you could walk barefoot like Moana. You were mad we couldn’t go home first and get your other Moana necklace and started to cry. You said “I can’t just be a random Moana at the beach with no necklace!” I explained that your costume came with a different necklace. You weren’t interested lol. Once you started to settle down (5-10 minutes later) you acquiesced to the new necklace and we headed to Lido. We stopped first for a slice of pizza at Rico’s on the circle. You showed the cashier your necklace and told her all about your costume, mine and Daddy’s. Everyone was cracking up ad thought you were adorable. After pizza, we had ice cream at Kilwins (more telling everyone about the costume) and then we headed to the beach.
At the beach, we walked up at the same time as another family. You ran up to their girls and wanted to make friends with them right away. You wanted to play with them in the water and they ended up sharing their googles with you. You really wanted to swim, so we ran back to the car to get some play clothes that you could swim in and a beach towel. We looked for seashells and you swam like a fish playing with a bunch of kids in the water. As the sun set, we headed home.
We sang and danced the whole drive home. You promised me you would jump in the shower as soon as we got home. Something happened when we walked in the door and you wanted to grab all your toys to bring in the shower. When I told you no, that we needed to get in and out and get to bed, you got really upset, cried and threw a huge fit. Then you shouted “my life is ruined and it’s all because of you!” I left you alone to cool down a little bit and then you called for me and asked me to help you wash your hair. I came to help you and you said “thank you Mama, you are the best.” I said “even though I ruined your life?” lol. You looked at me with your huge puppy dog eyes and said “I’m sorry Mama. I love you so much!” Your little voice, your hugs and your kisses fix any upset we have. We headed to the dining room, you hugged Daddy and we headed off to your room to read books. It was around 9p when we climbed in bed to snuggle and read. You were snoring in a few minutes wrapped in my arms.
I love you so much!
