3/22/22 – Reentry!

You came to my room at 6:30a & climbed in bed all riled up trying to play with Hank. I got you to lay down and you fell back to sleep and then I had trouble getting you up for school! I put Hank back in bed with you and he finally got you up! Somehow, despite the late start, we still got to school a few minutes early. We practiced your sight words in the car and although you hadn’t seen them for a week, you got all but one correct!! I’m so proud of you! I walked you into the classroom and Ms. Wolleon was super excited to hear all about your trip! You didn’t want me to leave, but I was able to get out without too much disruption.

When I picked you up you jumped in my arms. I missed you today!!! We went home to make dinner because Jackie is here! Yoh played outside for a while with Hank and then took a bath. While I was cooking, you fell asleep in the chair. I went over to wake you up because you are still a little off schedule from our trip. I wanted to be sure you got good rest tonight. You started to get stilly around 8p so at 8:15p I took you to my room to go to sleep. All of a sudden you were wailing, crying so hard and you couldn’t even tell me why you were crying. Through your cries, I could hear your yawns. I just kept playing meditations and kissing your head. I didn’t get frustrated or say a word. You were snuggling with me but it took you a while to calm down. Hank was in the living room with Jackie & Daddy and was very upset that you were crying. It was so sweet. All of a sudden, you asked me if I could give you rubs, massage, fat donkey and scratches from my neck back and butt crack. I said of course. Two seconds later, you were snoring.

I love you so much!

Last day of spring break. Slept until 10:45a. Had pancakes then went to Grandma Weezie’s to swim. Then we came home to change and go get ice cream at Main Street Creamery. You got a milkshake for the first time. We sat outside and had our shakes for a while then headed to Whole Foods to get food to make dinner.

3/17/22 – St. Paddy’s Day in the Snow!

You & Rafe played play dough and played outside in the morning. It’s been in the 40s so most of the snow in the yard has melted. We never made snow ice cream before the melting started so I’m sort of bummed about that. I didn’t want to do everything the first day but then we missed the bus!!!!

We went to Main Street in Park City & walked around. We got chocolate at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory & stopped for pizza for lunch. You scored illegal leopard yoga pants and a bunch of souvenirs. You and Rafe watched a movie & snuggled together in his chair. You two were so cute all week. He really enjoyed your meditation turtle at bedtime. The two of you snuggling in bed was so adorable.

I love you so much!

This morning, Lisa went to yoga and on her way back she brought donuts and bagels for breakfast. She also saw some sparkly golden eggs glistening in the snow when she was pulling in the driveway. You & Rafe ran out to discover a huge golden egg with an LOL surprise in it! You were delighted!

We had breakfast then packed up to go Dog Sledding!!!!! In the car on the way you were writing in your journal and snacking. When we arrived we were at a cute little lodge and they took us over to the dogs on ATVs. As soon as you saw the dogs you ran up and hugged them all. Of course I bundled you up and you started shedding layers in no time!

3/14/22 – First Snowball Fight!

This morning when you got up , we snuggled for a few minutes before heading downstairs to play. You wrote in your journal and we played with cars and animals. After lounging around the house for a while, we went outside to play in the snow. At first you went out in your pajamas then I convinced you to put your snow pants over your jammies lol. You made your first snowball today and we built a small snowman. You asked me to make footprints and handprints in the snow.

We went to TJ Maxx & you wanted to buy gifts for Rafe, Lisa & Baby O. You said “I love Olivia so much!” Rafe went snowboarding and when he got home he said “did Giovanna miss me today?” I about died lol! I couldn’t get you a spot in the snowboarding school today so we hung out at home. I’m glad we did as we were all still adjusting to the time zone, late travel and altitude. While we were rolling around in the snow, you climbed on top of me and kissed me and said “I love you so much Mommy!” I will never forget how I feel when you say I love you to me.

We headed to Hearth & Hill for dinner. You were drawing at the table and making a “P” out of paper and looked at me and said “Mom you’re perfect!” We played outside after dinner & you guys ate fudge bars and played in the snow. You played in your regular clothes and I had to really convince you to put on your boots and coat! You wee kneeling in the snow and didn’t care at all that it was cold and wet. You were absolutely over the moon. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to see you enjoy this so much! You & Rafe wanted to sleep in your bed. You wanted to play all 9 meditations on your turtle. I said yes, but you were both asleep before the end of the second one! Just like you do to me & Daddy you were snuggling Rafe almost out of the bed!!

I love you so much!
