10/10/21 – Did I Do Alright?

I went to your room to wake you up a few minutes before 8am. We needed to get ready to head to tennis but I tried to let you sleep as late as possible. I knew you were going to be a little more emotional and whiny today because you went to bed late the last two nights. That being said, you did much better at your lesson that I thought you might given how tired you were. I walked you up to the court and got you set up then I walked around the clubhouse so you couldn’t see me. When we finished, we headed home to change & grab a quick breakfast. On the way, your eyes were droopy and your head was bobbing, so when we got home, I told you that you needed to take a quick snooze or we couldn’t go to Kingston Farrier’s 7th birthday party. You didn’t want to, one minute you were petting Harry and next minute you were sleeping on him like he was your pillow. You slept about 20-30 minutes. As soon as you woke up you said “did I do alright? Can I still go to the party?” Daddy said yes and we got ready and left.

You had so much fun at the party. There was a huge water slide and you were going down over and over having a blast. Something happened, I didn’t see what, that made you scared to go down alone. You were sitting at the top crying and Katrina went up to go slide down with you. We had pizza & cake then it was time to go. You didn’t want to leave & had a meltdown. This only happens when you are extremely tired, but it is really hard to keep my cool. In the car you made Daddy & I each an “I’m Sorry” card to apologize for being disrespectful. I was proud of you for that.

We headed to the Beachhouse to meet my friend Emilie Carver from law school. You were wonderful and colored and chatted with Emilie. We went home and were playing when Lauren brought Captain over to play with you. You ran with him until you were both pooped! We came in to eat dinner, take a bath and read books. You were snoring by 8p after the first book.

I love you so much!
