1/28/22 – You Told The Whole Story!

For the last day of Launching Into Literacy week, you had to wear a galaxy themed outfit. By 9:45a Ms. Wolleon texted me and said “She told the whole class the story during morning share 😂😂 Even how she threw up in your car four times HAHA.” You also presented your timeline project at school.

Picked you up from school and Daddy had just landed at SRQ airport. We went to pick him up and took him to Coast to get his car. You were so happy to see him you jumped out of my car to go ride with him. We went home, made pizza and snuggled watching movies. I thought for sure you would go to bed early after last night, but you didn’t want to leave Daddy’s side, so it was a little later than usual when we finally all went to bed together.

I love you so much!

1/27/22 – I Swallowed A Quarter!

Today we took both Harry & Hank to school and you love letting kids pet them. You got to wear your jammies and bring your favorite stuffy (your cheetah)

After school we went home to drop the dogs off & you fell asleep in car on the way. I was so surprised!

You woke up and wanted to wear your illegal leopard outfit. I surprised you with a new pair of illegal leopard socks since you got a 100% on your sight words test last week and finished the Kindergarten sight words list! We met Chrissy and Olivia at Mi Pueblo for school spirit night.

We called Daddy on the way home. You told him “the good news is I’m going to the electric chair like you! I ate my entire quesadilla and all my smiley fries. There wasn’t even a speck left!”

We put the finishing touches on your timeline project since it is due tomorrow. Then we climbed in bed. We were trying to read, but Hank was playing and being crazy. You asked me to take him to the crate so I did. When I took came back, you had a quarter in your mouth which I didn’t know. You were crying and telling me you swallowed it by accident. I asked you why you had a quarter in your mouth and you said “because it was dirty and I needed to clean it!” OMG I about died. I didn’t know what to do so I immediately called Aunt Deb & Uncle Dali. We had to go to the ER to get an X-Ray. You vomited in the car in the parking lot which really scared me and upset you. I had to change you out of your jammies and put you in the extra clothes from the car. SMH was busy and the wait was forever so you kept asking to leave. We left and went to Doctor’s Hospital. There was no wait and everyone was so nice. We were in and out of there in a little more than an hour. The staff made you fell so comfortable and you weren’t scared. The X-Ray tech showed you the image and the Dr. advised the quarter was already in your small intestine so it was past anywhere dangerous. Aunt Deb, Uncle Dali and Ms. Sandy were staying in touch by text to make sure you were doing ok. They took your X-Ray right away then we had to wait to be discharged. They brought you a warm blanket and you fell asleep in my arms. You looked so precious. I was so scared earlier and so relieved to know you were ok. We got home around midnight and you wanted to snuggle with Hank. It took a little while for us both to fall asleep. I suspect I will never have to tell you not to put something in your mouth again!

I love you so much!

1/23/22

You woke up at 7:15a despite going to bed a little later last night. You were playing a catch the dollar bill game with Bob, Judy’s husband. You were starting to get frustrated when you weren’t catching it, then you starting trying to get me lol. We made pancakes and just hung out until lunchtime. We made lunch then headed back home. While I was doing laundry and unpacking you feel asleep on the couch watching TV.

1/22/22

You woke up around 7:30a and we made breakfast. You helped me cook and serve the food. We played sorry and cards. It was too chilly to go to the beach unfortunately. We went to dinner at Speaks on St. Armands and you were so snuggly with Daddy. The football playoffs were on so we watched some of the game after dinner then headed to bed. You were upset that we didn’t bring Hank to bed and while you were pouting, you accidentally fell asleep! We still had a fun day despite the crappy weather and it was nice to just lounge around the condo.

I love you so much!

1/21/22 – Winter Carnival

Hank slept on you the entire ride to school. We sang songs and practiced your sight words. You got another 100% on your sight words test today and that completed list 10 – all the Kindergarten words. Now, you are moving on to 1st grade words.

After school was the winter carnival 🎡. Daddy surprised you and met us there. He was in San Francisco all we and got home at 3am last night so you hadn’t seen him yet. You were soooo excited and threw your arms around him. There were tons of bounce houses, games, food, prizes and face painting. You ran around with Meka with your arms around her the whole night. You had so much fun and we stayed until the end, even though I was freezing and still in my work dress. We headed to the condo because my friend Judy Perlman (our neighbor in Ohio) was meeting us there for the weekend. She was so excited to meet you. We played & snacked, then headed to bed.

I love you so much!!!!

1/20/22 – Indoor S’mores

I brought both dogs to pick you up from school. You were so excited to see Harold when you opened the car door. You were happy to show him to Ms. Wolleon. We went home and had picnic outside for dinner. You were cracking up that you were eating cold pizza. We Facetimed with Daddy & Grandma noot. When the bugs came out we went inside and made indoor s’mores. You couldn’t get over the fact that the marshmallows were cooking with a lighter!!! After we finished, we played bowling outside. Ms. Mo & Franklin stopped by to see what you were up to. We headed inside, talked to Daddy and fell asleep after one book.

1/19/22 – I Really Miss You Daddy

You came to my room around midnight. I was nervous to snuggle with you because I don’t want to get you sick, so I put Hank between us & I flipped over to face the opposite direction. You woke up at 6a and I took Hank out to pee. We laid back down and you finally fell back to sleep. When you woke up around 8:10a you came out to the living room, hugged Hank and said hi to Aunt Deb (I was talking to her on the phone). All of a sudden it was quiet and I went to check on you. You had climbed back into bed and fallen back to sleep. I thought it was odd but 6 was awfully early for you to wake up. I couldn’t tell if I should send you to school or not. I tried to get you dressed and you were freezing, which is super unusual. I had to put all of you clothes on under the covers while you were still in bed. I was more concerned about sending you. You said you stomach and head hurt. I asked if you wanted to stay home. You said yes. I told you that you could, but if we didn’t go today, we can’t go to the winter carnival on Friday. You popped up, brushed teeth and hair and we headed out the door. You didn’t want to get out at car line either. I should have known. Ms. Wolleon texted me around 10a to say you have been crying and saying your head and tummy hurt. I came immediately to pick you up. You looked so uncomfortable & I felt so bad for even sending you. We came home, you snuggled on the couch and watched TV barely moving. I offered you something to eat or drink a million times. Finally around 1:30p you popped up and requested cheese pizza. You wanted to go to Il Panificio so I took you. On the way, you were dozing off. I still got the pizza, just in case, but we headed to the dog track to get you a rapid COVID test. You slept a good bit and I had to wake you for the test, which didn’t make you very happy, but we hurried back home. When we got home you went to the bathroom and you came out and announced, “Mom! You were right! I just had to poop!” and you felt perfectly fine the rest of the day!!! You had some of your pizza and I made veggie stew. We took a few laps around the block in the wagon, spent a LOT of time on your new Disney Princess sticker book – there’s lots of little blurbs to read which is great! We Facetimed with Ms. Sandy & Aunt Deb. We also got to FaceTime with Daddy for a few minutes in bed. We called but missed him shortly before, so you sent him a video about how much you missed him. It warms my heart. You were so sweet today. When we were working in the sticker book, you would just put your arm around me or rub my hand and kiss it. I absolutely would be lost without you.

I love you so much!
