5/26/20 – Bun, Bike, Bolognese & Buddha

You came to my room early last night… 11:45p or so. You jumped in bed and snuggled with me, almost pushing me out of bed lol! You were slow to wake up this morning! You wanted to wear a messy bun to school, because I randomly made one yesterday, when I insisted we get your hair out of your face at dinner. I don’t know why, but lately, you just want you hair down all the time & it’s always in your face. I don’t know how that doesn’t drive you nuts! Either way, it looked super cute on you!!

After school, you made Ms. Sandy make a construction paper fish & it was hanging on the fridge when I got home. You were playing with your new snakes & when you heard the garage door open, you ran to hide in my room to jump out & yell BOO! Well, I hid behind Buddha & when you opened the door, I jumped & yelled BOO & completely spooked you! You giggled sooo hard, then ran up and gave me the best hug ever! You were so excited to show me your caterpillar, butterfly, chrysalis leaf project that you brought home. It was so cute!

You wanted pasta for dinner, so you helped me make a bolognese. When Daddy got home, we ate & then you played pattycake with him, while wearing his new dishwashing gloves lol. After dinner, we were going to take Harold for a walk. You ran to change into bike riding clothes & came out in mismatched jammies and night pants. I asked why you put night pants on already & you said “it’s going to be night time when we get home!”

We went for a bike ride for one lap & a scooter ride for the second lap. When we got home, we headed to your room to do 2 Italian Lingos, then listened to Incredibles II soundtrack. You wiggled & wormed. Finally at 9:45p I was like, it’s late & you really need to get some sleep. All of a sudden, you rolled over & were asleep in 5 minutes. I got up to go and you opened your eyes just the tiniest bit and asked “where are you going?” I said, I have to pee, I will be right back. I went to the bathroom & came back to check on you. You were sound asleep. I kissed your forehead and thanked you for another amazing day.

I love you so much!

5/25/20 – Pancakes & Projects

This morning, I got up and did laundry & cooked bacon for you, before you & Daddy even stirred. When I came back into our room, you were both in the same position, looking like twins, again! You came to find me when you woke up. You showered with me and then you were sooo cold, you wanted to jump back in my bed, get under the covers & watch TV. We snuggled in bed for a bit & you were excited to have such a huge stack of pillows behind you.

You ran around in my shirt all morning, then helped me cook pancakes & hashbrowns. During and after breakfast, you were playing with everything it seemed. After we finished, we jumped in the car to drive Dave to show him the lot. You said “the old house is where we live now. The new house is here!” I love how excited you are and that you understand the concept that we will be moving. I have planned and dreamed of this house being the perfect home for you to grow up in. Plenty of space for you and lots to do – pool, boat dock, etc. I hope it is as perfect as I picture it today!

When we got home, we put your beans & seeds from school in a jar, so we can watch them sprout. You helped Daddy clean the garage and scrub the garbage cans. Daddy made us lunch and we worked on your cutting projects. I made a construction paper fish and you approved of my project! You also did your Rainbow Koala Crate project with Daddy. You stuffed the cloud pillow and assembled the felt rainbow by yourself! Then you & I made your rainbow tote bag together.

You wanted leftover pancakes for dinner & thought it was hilarious to have breakfast again! We snuggled on the couch together, watched a little TV, then did 2 Italian Lingos before you curled up in my arms and drifted off to sleep. It was a dreary & rainy day, but that didn’t stop us from having fun. We had a few fun “home days” and I’m so glad we did!

I love you so much!

5/24/20 – Party Slippers

This morning, you woke up and immediately ripped your night pants off excited saying “is this day 1?” Now, that you earned your Elsa dress, you are working up to sleeping in panties instead of night pants. You were doing good around Thanksgiving, waking up several nights in a row dry, but since then, it’s been sporadic. We got up and you wanted fruit & yogurt & we watched a little TV. Then we made waffles & dropped some off to Grandma Weezie. After that, we did a full manicure & pedicure while you dressed the watermelon in your superhero gear. You were trying to hang out in your jammies all day! You told me and Daddy to go put on our “party slippers” like you did!

After lunch, I wanted to go get some supplies to plant some herbs & you finally got dressed to come with me. As always, you had to pick your own dress & wanted to wear rain boots because it was rainy all day. We grabbed our supplies and came home to plant our herbs. You were so helpful and excited to scoop the dirt and water with your watering can. Daddy’s friend Dave came over to hang out.

When we finished, we made shrimp & broccoli fettuccine alfredo. You tore it up and asked for more! After dinner, we took a bike ride & then another lap to take Harold for a walk. You walked him and did a great job! You were calling him, “Harry, come on boy!” It was so cute.

When we got home, we went to do Kids Lingos in your bed. When you finished, you rolled over & said “do you wanna scratch my back? My whole back?” I said sure! You said, “well, I will probably fall asleep while you are scratching my back. I’m tired!” In no time at all, you were sleeping in my arms.

I love you so much!

5/23/20 – Float to the Bottom

We all slept in a little this morning, until around 8am. This week was a tough one and so we were all a little sluggish. The first thing you asked me was “do we have school today or is this a home day?” You were so excited it was a home day. We watched a little TV and you started the day by having 2 churro cupcakes for breakfast. I should have know we’d be in for a day lol!!

You wanted to stay home with Daddy while I ran to Whole Foods. When I got home, we ate lunch & then headed to Marcela’s house to swim. We had so much fun & the water was much warmer today. I bought you a butterfly net to “catch” your ducks with in the pool. You were super happy when I gave that to you! I also grabbed a pack of colorful snakes, but you were disappointed that they “float to the bottom” of the pool. You swam really strong and even backstroked by yourself without prompting. I love how confident you are in the water and it’s awesome to watch you have so much fun playing with Daddy.

A strong rain storm passed through and it dropped the temperature so we were all hiding under the giant raft. You were so happy to be playing in the rain and kept swimming in the rain and laughing hysterically. Your laugh is the best sound in the world. When the rain let up, we took the chance to jump in the car and head home. A second wave of storms was headed for us and it was almost 6p so you were starving. We had dinner when we got home, watched some PJ Masks, had two MORE cupcakes and then we went to your room to do Lingos. We did one Italian Lingo, listened to Bamboleo and you drifted off to sleep hugging me.

I love you so much!

5/22/20 – Sparkles!

Last night, I fell asleep with you and woke up around 11p. I packed your lunch and got myself ready for bed. You came to my bed round 12:30am. We were both pooped so we fell back to sleep right away. I had to rustle you up in the morning, but once you were up, you were so funny. You were running around just wearing Daddy’s shorts and then just his Coast T-shirt.

I surprised you on the way to school and we stopped at Dunkin Donuts for a donut. This was the first time we have done that and you were so excited when I told you what we were doing. You were wide-eyed when looking at all the options to choose from. You immediately picked the one with “sparkles” (aka sprinkles). When we got to school, you took gave Ms. Amber a huge hug & I got a sweet photo of you two.

I picked you up from school so we could get an early start to the holiday weekend. We went home to have snacks & then you wanted to go outside & play in the rain. It was pouring huge rain drops and you were running in the street stomping in the water. You even ran in the house to get your ducks and make them float down the street. You even dipped your head in the puddle to get your hair MORE wet lol. You were soaked and so was I. There really is nothing better than playing in the rain as a kid!!

When Daddy got home, we had dinner and played. He was tickling you & you were tickling him, cracking up on your new Frozen couch. I love watching you with him. It warms my heart. I took you to bed and fell asleep with you – it was a tough week & I was exhausted. I woke up at 4:30am, went to my room and you were following behind within an hour!

I love you so much!

5/21/20 – Storm in a Cup!

You were a silly goose on the way to school. We called Grandma Noot to invite her to girls night tonight. Ms. Sandy brought the ingredients to make a storm in a cup project at home with you. You got to put water, olive oil, food coloring and alka seltzer in a glass to watch what would happen! It was so fun!

I got home early & you helped me make tacos for dinner. Grandma Noot brought Peyton with her & when they walked in you were so happy to see them. You took Peyton to your toy room to play right away. When Daddy got home we made churro cupcakes and played Uno. You wanted to eat the batter, the frosting and a hundred cupcakes lol. It was getting late so I took you to bed. Once again, I fell asleep with you. Snuggling with you is just soooo comfy!

I love you so much!

5/20/20 – FOMO Strikes Again

You were slow to wake up again this morning! You are liking the idea of sleeping in! When you finally woke up, Daddy was tickling you and you were having him “chase” you all over the bed. Silly goose. Once again, you insisted on wearing your Easter dress, that I couldn’t get you to even put on for a quick picture on Easter lol! Daddy made you a wonderful breakfast and you got some cuddles from him before he left for work.

On the way to school today, you asked that we FaceCall Grandma Noot and Federico. Fed was still sleeping so we called Aunt Deb. She was still in bed and you were “yelling” at her telling her to get up, it’s morning time! You gave her lots of kisses on the screen before getting out of the car to go to school. At school, you had an amazing day in the garden you guys have been keeping. You got to see a chrysalis, caterpillars and emerging butterflies! You were also playing with the girls on “Gus” the caterpillar!

You and Daddy made burgers for dinner & I went to dinner with Peggy Hinkle. You wanted to help him cook, so you grabbed my enormous cast iron pan and tried to pull it out of the cabinet! You asked Daddy for help because it was so heavy!!! He was like what are you doing lol!?!?! After dinner, you went for a walk, but you were running in your flip flops and fell. Daddy got your boo-boo all cleaned up and when I got home, it was the first thing you told me all about! I kissed your knee (with your supervision to ensure I was far enough away from the boo-boo) and then we went to your room to do Lingos and go to sleep. When I asked you to snuggle with me after Lingos you said “I can’t Mama, if I do, I will fall asleep and not be able to snuggle with you!” You have the biggest case of Fear Of Missing Out I have ever seen. You never want to go to sleep for fear of what you will miss!!!

I love you sooo much!

5/19/20 – Donuts!!

You slept in a bit this morning again. I finally got you to roll over around 730am. You wanted to stay in bed & snuggle. You asked if we have school today & I said yes. You said “I just want to have a home day Mama.” We finally got you up, moving & doing your jobs (brushing teeth &hair, eating breakfast & getting dressed) and then you spotted the donuts on the counter and of course wanted one!

I let you have a donut on the way to school – first time for that! When we got there, we had to sit in the car, finish the donut & the Toy Story song we were listening to, then you asked me to take your picture on your pretty rock. You had a great day & when I was driving home, you and Ms. Sandy were on a bike ride around the block. You helped me make a pizza & when Daddy got home, you were trying to carry his big umbrella around. That sparked you to want to take a walk with your umbrella. We grabbed Harold and hit the road. We grabbed the mail & ran into Luca & his family. You two immediately started running around the lake and chasing each other. Luca was trying to climb up some wood and you were helping him. Then when you guys ran to the sidewalk, there was a car coming down the street, you put your hand in front or his chest to stop him from going into the street. It was sooooo sweet. I hope you get to be a big sister someday…you would really love it. You are so kind and concerned for others (and a little nosy & a tiny bit bossy lol) you would be an amazing sister. It was so cute to watch you with Luca for a few minutes tonight. After our walk, we went home, did some Italian & Kids Lingos & read a few books. All of a sudden, we went from snugging to you snoring! What a fun day!

I love you so much!

5/18/20 – It’s Not Sensible!

I tried to wake you up starting at 6:45am. I wasn’t successful until 7:30a. You played and swam so hard all weekend and you slept even harder. Since I couldn’t shower you last night, I had to get you in there this morning! Once you were up, you were happy to jump in, but we had to go get ALL of your duckies first, so you could put them ALL in my shower! I had to be on a Zoom call at 8:30am with a panel I’m presenting with later today, so I let you know that when we got into my car. You waved at everyone when we got on and they all thought you were adorable. You were so good, quiet & respectful during my call. I was so proud of you. You whispered to ask me if we could do a Lingo when my call was done before you go into school lol. When we pulled into the parking lot, you asked me (in your sweetest voice) “Mama, could you please try to come and pick me up before nap today?” You gave me a huge hug & kiss before running inside happily. I hope you have an awesome day!

At school, you got to play the Very Hungry Caterpillar “Surprise Slides” game with George. In the art center, you began documenting the life cycle of the butterfly. When Ms. Sandy picked you up, she brought your umbrella because it rained most of the day. You were very happy about that surprise, even though it wasn’t raining when she picked you up. You complimented her on what a good idea it was to think to bring it!

Daddy beat me home and tried to get you to do a workout with him, but you weren’t really interested in it lol… You were painting and doing Spanish Lingos when I got home. You were so cute perched at the computer answering the questions. I kissed you then ran down to cook dinner. You insisted on helping, which I gladly accepted. You changed your dress and put on a princess crown for dinner – why not?!?!

You asked Daddy & I to play at your train table with you after dinner. You must have said ten times, “It’s not sensible daddy!” when he was trying to drive the trains around the track. I was laughing…where did you get the word “sensible” from?!?! Poor Harold ended up having the wear the princess crown, again, which he is less than enthused about each time! Fortunately, he’s a good sport and a great dog. You tell him you love him a lot, usually when you are nearly strangling him!! You were also drawing at your chalkboard. I have notice over the last week or so that you are holding pens, crayons & chalk so much more properly, out of nowhere it seems. It shows in the work coming home from school too. Writing your name is getting so much better and more consistent. I’m so proud of you!!

We headed to your room to do a few Kids Lingos, read two books & snuggled until you drifted off to sleep. Another fun day, another peaceful night. I am so in love with you. I am so grateful for you.

I love you so much!

5/17/20 – Siesta Sunday

After the day we had yesterday, we slept in again today. We got up again around 8am, got dressed (you insisted on wearing your Easter dress, which I could NOT get you to put on Easter Sunday lol) & then ran to Whole Foods to get food & snacks for our beach day. You love to ask the clerk at the entrance for a mask. You are fascinated with them! We got home, packed up our cooler and hit the road. We were meeting Aunt Deb, Fed & Grandma Noot at Siesta Beach. When we arrived it was so packed, it was like 4th of July. Absolutely no parking. We had a quick picnic lunch before Janice invited us to her condo which has a private beach.

When we got to the beach you immediately ran to the water with Fed & jumped right in. You had so much fun playing with him all day. We were floating around on a pool noodle & you were telling me how much you like the private beach and first class when you fly lol. You were floating on a chair and going up to “scare” Daddy & yell boo! Fed made a sand mermaid tail for you too! Janice came down to hang with us and she brought you a surprise – ice cream bar! When we walked up to the beach I told you she brought you a surprise and you said “everyone should bring me a surprise treat!” lol

Everyone should bring me a surprise treat!

We left at 7p & you fell asleep hard in the car on the way home. You rinsed off at the beach shower before we left, but your face was still super sandy. I got a washcloth and wiped your face off to clear the sand before taking you in the bed because there’s no way I could give you a shower. When I laid you and then you rolled over & I said “do you wanna put night pants on ?” You said “no, I’m not going to sleep just yet.” I literally giggled out loud. You were out in 2 seconds. Today was so awesome. We got to slow down, to be in a beautiful place, enjoy our family and connect with each other. It was so perfect. You spent time with all of us at different points throughout the day. I was so happy to see you getting quality one on one time with everyone.

I love you soooo much!
