5/6/20 – Scooting along…

This morning, I laid on the bed next to you, rubbing your forehead to wake you up. Daddy was playing Wake Up Everybody on Alexa and came out to dance next to the bed and try to wake you up. You told me you didn’t wanna go to school you wanted to have a “stay at home day.” Me too girl… me too! You finally picked your outfit and you were adamant about bringing your new glow in the dark necklaces with you. You ate breakfast on the way to school and we had to sit in the parking lot for a bit while you finished your sandwich and Frozen songs in Spanish, in the front seat of my car! You were signing “Let It Go!” out of my car window with great excitement!

Ms. Sandy was out again today, so I picked you up from school again. When you climbed into the car, I was on a Zoom call with Marina, Jackie & Amanda and you got right up to the phone to tell them all hi!!!! Of course, they were all cracking up. We went home, you immediately took your dress off and were climbing all over me on while I was on the call. Fortunately, everyone has been understanding as many people are working from home now, and kids and dogs pop into webinars and video calls. Then, you worked on your tracing project that you brought home from school. I was on my call, sitting at the table, and you said “don’t worry mama, you can talk on your phone and I will trace my letters!”

Chrissy & Baby Olivia came over. You love to play with O and you love to show her all of your toys. Sometimes, you try to tell her “how” to play with the toys… We had dinner and then played outside. We went for a walk around the block. You were riding your bike & Olivia was pushing the cart. When we got back, you pulled out your scooter and then you wanted to give Olivia a ride. I wasn’t sure it was the best idea, but Chrissy was game! You both had a blast. It was getting late, so Chrissy needed to leave to put Olivia to bed. Neither of you wanted to be done with the scooter, but Olivia especially was pointing at the scooter and crying! Poor thing! We headed inside to play a little more an then head to bed to do Kids Lingos and watch Mr. Steve read another book online. You rolled over and asked me to “turn Mr. Steve off so I can go to sleep.” You were a little wiggly for a bit and then you rolled over and went to sleep.

I love you so much!!

5/5/20 – Fiesta

You did NOT want to get up this morning. You wanted to stay in bed and snuggle. When you were eating breakfast, you opened your last birthday gift from Lisa & Rafe Sessa. It was a snowflake necklace with a pearl inside and a necklace with a tiny bottle of sand & shells – both glow in the dark. Tonight, when you realize that you are going to be excited. You picked your outfit today – twirly dress, yoga pants and matching sneakers, for a change!!!

When we got to school, you asked if we could sit in the car to finish listening to the Toy Story song before going in. You climbed in the front seat and were very happy about that! You brought your seashell jewelry box with your necklaces in the car even though you couldn’t bring them into school. When we were walking up the gate, you said “when you get back in your car Mom, please call Ms. Sandy and tell her that you will pick me up and not her” so that you would get to your seashell as quickly as possible!!!

Ms. Sandy was sick so I did pick you up from school. I was on a Zoom coaching call with Marina & Jackie. You saw Marina and leaned into the video and said hi to her. Everyone was cracking up at you. We met Mr. Steve to give him new books and get the first batch we loaned him back. You climbed into the front seat to talk to him and had a blast. Then, we picked up Grandma Weezie & took her to Shake Shack to get a milkshake. We shared one and you were of course, right up front, chatting up the worker! You showed her your new necklaces of course.

We dropped Grandma Weezie off at home and ran to Publix to get stuff to make tacos tonight. We talked to Grandma Noot on the way to the store. You asked to face call & when she answered you said “are you at the private beach?” lol you are too much!! While we were shopping, we ran into Ms. Jenny. You were so happy to see her & when we walked away you said “Ms. Jenny is my favorite.”

We made tacos & watched Toy Story 3. Grandma Noot brought Tres Leches & chocolate cake and you had some of each. THAT is a LOT of sugar for you!! We headed to bed a little late because of the movie. We watched Mr. Steve read The Magic is in You & then we went to sleep. No Lingos tonight. You were so excited that he was reading one of your books.

I love you so much!

  • Scammed Chocolate Cake from Gma Noot!
  • New Glow in the Dark Necklace from Mr. Rafe & Ms. Lisa!

    5/4/20 – Working out

    This morning, you came to my bed at 5 am with your M&Ms blanket, one puppy pad & water bottle. You cried because your boo boo on your foot hurt when you came to my room. Last night before bed, you put your couch next to my bed, all reclined out so you could lay in there when you came to my bed. I put it back to the seated position so you wouldn’t trip on it during the night. You were not happy about that but I quickly consoled you to lay in bed and snuggle with me. You gave me kisses and said I love you mama and drifted right back to sleep.

    When I woke you up at 7:30, you said your body was still full of sleep lol. After having a chance to look more closely at your foot, we did find a tiny piece of glass on the ball of your foot. Of course you didn’t want us to touch it but finally, I was able to distract you with kids Lingos and you didn’t even notice Daddy touching it. It was out without pain and when we went to your room to get dressed, you were jumping on it so excited that it didn’t hurt anymore!

    When I got home from work, you and Daddy were upstairs doing a workout video. He sent me a video of you doing the workout, then you turned around to say “I’m taking a break!!” I about died. You asked me to join you in my dress, then you would let me go change my clothes. I went downstairs to start cooking and then you joined me to help. You seasoned the chicken and stirred the Marsala sauce.

    We played outside after dinner since it was so pretty. We went to your room to do Italian Lingos and read a book. You were wiggly tonight and took a little longer to fall asleep, so I sat next to you, rubbed your forehead and told you a story about you. You smiled until you were snoring. This is a spectacular way to do bedtime and I love it. It’s one of my favorite things we do together.

    I love you so much.

    5/3/20 – Sunday Funday!

    You slept all night in your room & came to my room at 7a ready to go! You brought your Goodnight Football book and read the whole thing in bed snuggling with me. While we were reading, you looked at me and said, I wish Daddy was awake lol!

    You helped me make waffles again (much better batch today) then we watched Coco. You helped me clean up the toys that were all over the living room. You ALWAYS love to help!You found your Tickle Monster book in your closet when you were putting shoes away. It came with furry mittens for tickling. You were wearing them and calling them “puppy pads”.

    You ate a grilled cheese sandwich IN your couch ON my bed. Last weeks garden theme at school has you very interested in plants and seeds. So we went to Lowe’s to get potting soil and planter for herbs, but the line was so long I just told you I forgot my money lol!

    You snoozed in the car on the way to Ms. Marcela’s house. You immediately put all 52 of your ducks in the pool & 12 mermaids lol. You are also fascinated with feeding all of the bugs you find in the pool to her chicken. So you kept running over to the chicken coop, in your swimsuit, googles and glittery light up rain boots lol. Eric brought out a bag of dried meal worms for the chicken to snack on. Of course, the perpetual helper, you were eager to carry the bag to the coop and feed the chicken. You look like quite a little farmer! Back in the pool, you love stepping on the water pump pipe and then stepping off and it spraying up super high! You were counting to 20 in Spanish & cracking up laughing when you got soaked!

    You sang some crazy songs you made up on the way home. You helped Daddy take the trashcans out and then jumped in the shower with me. You brought ALL of your ducks into the shower. You played for a few minutes in the shower and then we went to your room to do Kids Lingos. I told you we could do three. When you finished them I said “ok, we’re all done with Lingos. Grab a book & come snuggle with me.” You did exactly that. We read the Tickle Monster book that goes with your “puppy pads” and then I asked you if you wanted to hear music. You said, “I want to snuggle with you mama & listen to Bamboleo.” I said, that’s fine, just close your eyes. You did, and you were snoring in no time at all. We had a fantastic weekend. I absolutely adore you.

    I love you so much!

    5/2/20 – Splishing & Splashing

    This morning you slept in a little, but Daddy woke up in the middle of the night and had fallen asleep on the couch watching TV. To try to keep you in bed with me so he could sleep, we did “Kid’s Lingos” ( an English reading & writing version of Duolingo). You LOVE it. It’s really the first app I have ever downloaded for you. I saw an ad for it in the Duolingo app about 2 weeks ago or so. I wasn’t sure what it was about but thought we would take a look. I don’t want you going crazy for my phone, so I have never let you have any games or anything on my phone.

    Finally, our new waffle iron arrived this week so we got to try it out this morning. You helped me make waffles and you measured and stirred all the ingredients. You put your new Frozen couch from Romo on top of the chair in the living room & sat there eating your waffle. We packed up after breakfast to head to Ms. Marcela’s house to swim. You had a BLAST!!!!! You had all your ducks out and kept catching bugs and taking them to the chicken coop to feed to her chicken. You played and swam so hard all day and also lounged with me in her huge “boat” raft. We left around 3:30p and you were passed out in the car in no time. It was way too late to nap, but I still let you sleep for an hour so you wouldn’t be too tired to watch a movie tonight. All week you had asked to watch Toy Story 3, but it was just too late each night. If you hadn’t napped there’s no way you would have made it through a movie.

    Daddy made a steak on the grill & you ate about half of it lol. You brought your Frozen couch and put it by the bar to sit it and wait for fork fulls of steak, like a baby bird waiting for a worm lol. While he was cooking, we were dancing to Bomboleo by Gypsy Kings. You love them now that you have discovered Hay Un Amigo En Mi.

    After dinner, we watched Toy Story 3 and you ate more snacks (after a huge dinner)! We went to your room, did 2 Italian Lingos & then read If I Ran the Zoo. I can’t believe how much of this book you have memorized. It’s a pretty complex book! You never cease to amaze me. You were still awake when I finished so we read Sneetches. You fell asleep, so when I finished, I pulled the covers up to your shoulders (you HATE covers when you are awake, so I always cover you up before I leave) and then I kissed your forehead. As I opened the door, I looked back at you and your eyes were open!!!! HOW!?!?! You should be out! I laid back down with you & you were out in just a few minutes. I have never regretted reading and snuggling with you to sleep. I’m in no rush to push you to independence and I always want you to know that I will be there for you no matter what… no matter what time, day or night… no matter what you need… no matter what.

    I love you so much!!!

    5/1/20 – Parking Lot Picnic

    You were slow moving this morning. You took FOREVER to get up, to brush your teeth, to get dressed, to brush your hair. In the car on the way to school, you were trying to sing “Hay Un Amigo En Me” but you were having trouble remembering the words without the music playing. You said “mama, can you please play the song? I can’t concentrate without the music!” We were running later to school than usual. You were happy when we got there though and had a great day. When you got home, you and Ms. Sandy finished your Frozen Lego Arendelle Castle and it looked amazing!!!! When I got home from work, you showed me all of your rainbow and garden projects…. Everything was great! When Daddy got home you were excited to show him as well. You told him to “wait a couple whiles” instead of wait a couple of minutes lol.

    We packed up the car with picnic supplies, chairs and your bike and ran to pick up Chinese food and had a picnic in the parking lot. You were happy to ride all around and there were several cars that did the same thing. You were happy to keep tabs on what all the other kids were doing. The weather was just too nice to eat inside and I didn’t have picnic food options at home. This was as fantastic as it was unplanned. You skipped your nap again today (I guess you feel you don’t need them anymore) so you started to rub your eyes after we ate while you were bike riding. We packed up, headed home, jumped in bed and did just 2 Lingos before you fell asleep. Poor tired girl!

    I love you soooo much!

    4/30/20 – All wet…

    Daddy went to leave for work and you ran to the front door to kiss him goodbye. You ran back in saying “Daddy’s car has a boo-boo mama. A really BIG boo-boo! I went outside to see what had happened. He forgot the sunroof open and it poured rain all night. The inside was soaked! So we all loaded up in my car, we took you to school and then he dropped me at work & he took my car to work. You were so happy to have me ride in the back seat with you on the way to school!! You wore your new glittery light up rain boots in the car, even though you can’t wear them to school.

    When we got home, we cooked together. You helped me season chicken wings and set the oven to preheat. You are getting so good at following directions like that. We made some teriyaki sauce and you were in charge of stirring. You still make a pretty good mess when you stir, but you are getting so much better! You loved the wings (and the tater tots!) You played with your new Arendelle castle and I had to send Aunt Deb a picture of you. It was so cute. Tonight, Arendelle was full of Toy Story characters.

    You took a bike ride around the block while Daddy & I walked. We didn’t get too far when we ran into a few neighbors standing around talking. You were showing off to everyone how well you can ride your bike and fast too! Enzo was there so you wanted to pet him of course. All of a sudden, I looked over at you and your face was scrunched up. I knew right away you had to pee and already had started. We quietly headed home so you wouldn’t be embarrassed. We had just rounded the corner and you saw Ms. Moe almost to the next curve. You took off so fast and blew right past the house shouting out “Ms. Mooooooeeeeeee!!!” We ended up circling the entire block again, although we never stopped to potty! When we got back home, you ran in right away to change. By the time I got into the house, you had peed, put on night pants, a Frozen nightgown and had your bike helmet back on. When I walked in you wailed in tears because you wanted to go back out to ride more! I quickly calmed you down and we went to your room to do Lingos. We did two lessons, you climbed on top of me and you were snoring in 2 minutes. I must have kissed your forehead 20 times before leaving your room.

    I love you so much!!

    4/29/20 – Impromptu

    It was quite a process to get you dressed today lol. You spent a lot of time organizing your panties and deciding which ones to wear! On the way to school we listened to Toy Story in Spanish – you love to sing Hay Un Amigo En Mi! The new drop off procedure at school is going very well. You are happy to grab your lunch box, give me a big hug & kiss, then run right to Ms. Amber and right to your class with no worries about me! It feels so much better. I told Ms. Amber that after you went to your classroom and she said they are considering keeping this in place because it’s been so much easier for all the kids.

    I picked you up and you said you were hungry. You just finished lunch before I came, but you wanted pizza. So, we grabbed a slice at Rico’s and headed to the park at the north bridge to Siesta. I put a blanket on the ground and we had a lovely little picnic. You told me “it’s so pretty here mama!” These moments make me extremely grateful for the changes that have come in response to this virus. Without it, our picnic today wouldn’t have happened. We headed to my office after lunch so Romo could give you your birthday present, a Frozen couch. She asked you to close your eyes so you could find your surprise. You said, “mama needs to take a picture of me first!” We were all cracking up laughing. When you learned it folded out and you could lay on it you were so excited. You wanted to call Jackie and sat on couch with the phone chatting her up. When I went to sign my closing I told you I would be right back & you said “is your people here?” I was done quickly and we left to go home. You wanted to video call Grandma Weezie and you were excited to tell her about your Frozen couch. When we got home we played phase 10.

    Daddy’s coffee pot was delivered and you opened it like it was a birthday present lol. I said but it’s in a box and you don’t like boxes. You said, I don’t mind boxes anymore! I was like hmmm, well on your birthday you were super annoyed by them lol. He made you hot cocoa while I was at the store. We went to bed, did two Lingos & you snuggled on me and were snoring in 2 minutes. I went to lay you down on your pillow and kissed your forehead a thousand times. I love you so much!

    4/28/20 – This is Nothing!

    When you came to my room last night, you brought your M&M blanket, raggedy Ann doll, stuffed flamingo, small pillow from your couch, Easter bunny stuffy and your water bottle! We have no idea how you gather up so much stuff t bring while you are half asleep. You always bring your water bottle and blanket or stuffy, but last night was a LOT!!! When you climb into bed you are back to sleep in 30 seconds.

    You didn’t want to get up this morning but when you finally did, you were very cooperative. You were riding your scooter all over the house while I finished getting ready. Daddy left for work before you woke up and you were disappointed to find he was gone. However, he made you an awesome egg sandwich which you wolfed down on the way to school. I picked you up from school because Ms. Sandy was sick. You were quiet in the car, and when I looked in the rear-view mirror a few minutes later, you were sound asleep. While you were sleeping, we ran by Grandma Weezie’s to drop something off. While we were talking you woke up. You were happy to see her and you scammed her out of piece of pizza she was having for lunch. lol. We left and dropped some packages off at the UPS store. You handed each package and label to the clerk, one by one, giving her direction “this one goes with this package…etc”. The clerk was very complimentary of you and so was I. It’s impressive to see how confident you are interacting with adults.

    We went home & Grandma Noot came to hang out with you while I took a quick call. There was an Amazon package delivered and I thought it was another birthday delivery for you. You opened it, but it was a part for Daddy’s phone. You said “this is nothing!!!!” clearly disappointed it wasn’t a birthday present. Grandma Noot brought your birthday presents that were delayed. You couldn’t wait to see what your surprises were. You were so excited about the mermaid shirt, unicorn swimsuit & long unicorn dress. She intentionally wrapped them without a box because you were so frustrated by the boxes on your birthday. You told her that you don’t mind boxes now. lol! We were both cracking up laughing. You thought all of it was so pretty that you insisted on wearing it to Target to grab a few things. You wanted everything we walked by in the store and you weren’t happy we didn’t buy a 5 foot tall Arendelle Castle. We drove by Juniper’s birthday party long enough for you to grab a cupcake, a cookie & a balloon! After dinner, you were jumping around and being crazy. We headed to bed, did 3 Lingos and read two books. You climbed on top of me and fell asleep. I love you so much!!!!

    4/27/20 – Gardens Growing

    This morning when you woke up you told me that you had a dream about me. It was so sweet to hear you tell me all about it. I believe this was your first dream that you had. We were headed to the car to go to school and Luca & Mr. Anthony were walking baby Gio around the block. Of course you had to pet Enzo the Doodle. Luca had a Buzz Lightyear, so you ran in and grabbed yours. You were so excited that you both had one.

    On the way to school, you were so excited to be able to see me in my rear view mirror. You giggled out

    loud so hard it made me laugh! When we got to school, you couldn’t wait to show Ms. Amber your new Buzz & Woody.

    You ran off into school so happily. My heart just smiles to see you back in your element, thriving. We could not possibly have found a better fit for you in a school. I hope you always love school like you do now! You had a great day and this week started a gardening theme at school. You planted seeds, cut & pasted a series of pictures of a garden growing & you were so excited to show it to me when I got home! You practiced more cutting at home and you have gotten so good at cutting straight lines!

    You helped me cook dinner and then we played a fierce game of Sorry! & Uno. After that, we headed to your room to do Lingos. We did 3 Italian lessons (I’ll take it while you are into it because sometimes you only want to do Spanish.) You asked me to play the Frozen soundtrack in Spanish, so I did, but you fell asleep during the first song, with you arms holding onto mine.

    When I left your room, I had an email from Alisa Sue with your birthday photos. Every single one is AMAZING!!! She’s able to capture your personality in every shot. I love every photo… like always!

    I love you so much sweet girl.
