9/3/21 – I Needed A Minute

This morning, you were happy although a little slow pokey to get on the road today. I was afraid we were going to be late to school. Christen from my office made you a bunch of glittery masks and you took them all to school today, excited to show them off! You were singing the Gummibear song as a result since two were glittery gummy bears! When we turned toward the school, the car line was so short that I was afraid we would be late if we parked and I walked you up, so instead we stayed in the car line. Officer Mark opened the door, grabbed your things & walked right up to school. It took me a minute to be able to pull away. I watched you walk all the way up through the gates…and you looked so big. My heart twinged a bit.

When I picked you up, you climbed in the car and asked to go get a donut. We stopped for a donut at Publix, then headed home to change and pack for the Meadows pool. You put on your swimsuit, but had a gymnastics leotard on over it lol. We walked in to the pool, you saw Benjamin and some other kids playing so you ran and jumped right in. Chrissy & Olivia met us & Daddy came after work. We stayed until the pool closed then showered and headed to bed. We read the Lorax and you were snoring by page 8. You drifted off to sleep with your legs draped over mine and snuggling with me. I stayed an extra 15 minutes because it felt so good to be with you. I moved your legs and kissed your forehead.

I love you so much!
