10/13/21

This morning, you climbed into bed with me around 6:45a. Daddy was already at work so we snuggled for a little bit then got up to do our jobs. Got ready left & got to school early. A 1st grader names sigend noticed you were reluctant to walk in and said “hi would you like a friend to walk in with?”

10/11/21 – She Will Probably Bring Dessert!

This morning I woke you up at 8a so you got a good solid 12 hours of sleep. When you got up, you got dressed and ate a little breakfast. You insisted on wearing your hair in a headband today and not a hair tie. I told you Grandma Noot was coming over tonight & you said “Yayyyyyyy! Awesome. She will probably bring dessert!” I was cracking up and texted her immediately

You were slow at doing your jobs & we got out of the house a little later than usual. We had to do the car line drop off because we got to school around 9:10a. I hate dropping you off that way – you always look sad and mopey walking in when we don’t walk up together. I worry that your day will start off sad when that happens. I texted Ms. Wolleon in Dojo to check on you.

After school, you lingered and gave me a long hug & snuggle on the steps of the school. We headed home to make dinner. You made a list of who you were planning to invite to your next birthday party!! We went outside to chase lizards and Ingrid & Benji walked by. You ran with him until he was panting and hot too!!! Daddy came home and when he pulled up you said “where did you come from?!?!!?” You were surprised he was home. You jumped in and he took you for a ride around the block. I took Harold back inside and got dinner ready. Grandma Noot came and we had dinner. You raved about my mashed potatoes (they are not usually something you look for but tonight you loved them). You were excited to tell her that Daddy finally got you Hulu. I have no idea how you know what Hulu is already, but you do. You asked me for it while Daddy was out of town last week & I told you to ask him when he gets home. I didn’t realize you guys were talking about it and he signed up yesterday! After playing and signing (and dessert brought by Grandma Noot) you brushed your teeth and we headed to your room to read books. You took off your clothes and put on your Frozen dress up shoes & put on a performance of “Mi Cuerpo.” You told us you were going to do the “emotions” = motions. You sang that then Lava, then we read books. It took you about an hour to finally calm down and go to sleep. I kissed your cheek and told you I love you for the thousandth time today, because I do.

I love you so much!

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!

10/9/21 – I Need Real Money Daddy!

Even though you went to bed so late, you still woke up at 8a. You wanted to play board games so we played Sorry, Candy Land, and Chutes & Ladders. I made pancakes then we headed to Spanish with Ms. Ida. You made cards for Ms. Ida, Gracyn Landsman and the Berlin kids. You had so much fun doing a scavenger hunt for colors, FaceTiming Ms. Ida’s parents to talk about Puerto Rico and singing songs.


I picked you up and we went home to play more games and eat lunch. I tried to take you shopping, Daddy tried to take you to the Outlet Mall and I tried to get you to deliver soup to my friend Dena who is sick, but you didn’t want to leave the house. So you and I played more board games, including two games of Life and Daddy ran to the Outlet Mall. When he got back, I delivered the soup. You guys played ice cream shop (you insisted Daddy pay you with real money not play money) & hunted lizards while I was gone.

When I got home and walked in, you were bummed because you were hoping I was Emily Brophy. She came a few minutes later to hang out with you while Daddy & I went to dinner with Al & Lisa Sessa. She said you were really well behaved all night. She mentioned you were getting tired around 9p so you brushed teeth, got on jammies, brushed hair and peed. Then you played with your ducks in the sink. When we got home you were snuggling on the couch with Emily. I took you to bed and played Lava for you & you were out before it was over. You were so peaceful I couldn’t stop kissing your cheeks.

I love you so much!

10/8/21 – I Will Be Back To Snuggle With You

Daddy got home from the airport around 11p. We got in bed around midnight and you immediately snuggled up to him and wrapped your arms around him. I have no idea how you know to move and snuggle from a dead sleep but you do! You went right back to sleep smiling knowing he was right by your side. When we got to school, we were walking up the path and Rylan ran up behind you. You guys started giggling and playing. You walked through the gates with her and headed in for a great day!

When I met you at walk up you ran out and told me “I had a great day!” You told me all about Ella, the new student who joined your class yesterday. You showed me your sticker book that you brought to school and you had given away tons! You were very excited to share with everyone. You went to the library today and couldn’t wait to show me your book this week. You told me you “I was going to get a regular book and then I decided no I will go to the sports section again.” We stopped at Whole Foods to get stuff to make pizza for our movie night at home tonight. You ran the self checkout and you enjoy doing so. On the way home, you were reading your book to me pretending to be the teacher. It was adorable.

Ms. Wolleon also posted in Dojo pictures of you guys having your popsicle party yesterday.

We made pizza for dinner, watched Toy Story and then the Octopus Teacher. You snuggled with me on the couch then said “it’s Daddy’s turn, I’m going to snuggle with him for a few minutes then I will be back to snuggle with you.” You snuggled with Harry too. When we went to bed, we snuggled in bed, I sang Lava to you and you were snoring half way through the song, but it was almost 11p so you were really tired.

I love you so much!

10/7/21 – Let It Go~

You woke up at 3am, snuggled up to me and told me you were awake for the day! I was like, ummm no G we need to go back to sleep. It took about a half an hour to get you back to sleep after needing to pee, get fresh water and an attempt to put the TV on! When I finally got up in the morning, you were slow moving and then out of nowhere, you went to brush your teeth and I “caught” you singing and dancing to Let It Go. You were having a blast and trying to find sight words in the lyrics on the Alexa screen.

Today was school picture day. You insisted on wearing your “illegal leopard” dress & boots. You gave me some grief for not having any leopard panties to match! You looked adorable and I can’t wait to see the pictures!

When I picked you up you had a skeleton you made special for Daddy and you couldn’t wait to give it to him tonight since he will be back, but it was after you went to bed. You of course wanted to get naked right away 🙂 We headed to gymnastics doing math problems the whole way. Ms. Sandy surprised you and came to watch you and see how much you have learned! When you saw her upstairs in the spectator area, you left class and ran up to see her. We went to dinner after and you told her all about school and the cool things you have been doing. We visited for a little bit then headed home.

We watched Lava & a Toy Story short then you turned off the TV, snuggled with me and started snoring like a man!!!! You had a busy week and were pooped!

I love you so much!

10/6/21 – Sorry!

I had to wake you up at 8a because you went to bed late last night. You wanted to snuggle before you could get up and going. You wanted to send Daddy your thumbs up picture. Somehow you got up and moving quickly & we still got to school a little early, singing the whole way there! You walked in with Micha with your arms around each other.

You wanted me to pick you up at walk up (now that is an option again) but my dentist appointment ran super late. I had to take you back to the dentist with me to finish getting my temporary crown. You chatted them up about school, the tooth fairy and Halloween. You sat patiently and were so good.

We went to Brio for dinner then home to shower and play Sorry and Sequence. We talked to Daddy, had a snack and watched a a short before heading to bed. You asked me to sing songs to you like Lava and Somewhere Over The Rainbow. You drifted off to sleep in my arms and I couldn’t stop watching you sleep.

I love you so much!

10/5/21

we were actually running a few minutes early to school today

at pick up you put one leg in car and said “mom I had the greatest day!” You climbed up on the console and kept hugging me, rubbing my arm and wanting to snuggle. I pulled over and you said “I just missed you so much. I thought about you all day so much that I couldn’t even think of daddy” you didn’t want to get in your car seat so I pulled over and asked if you wanted to stop at the beach for a snack and to look at the water. You were excited to do so.
we sat on a bench in the shade. You climbed a tree, walked in the water and looked for lizards. It was so relaxing.
we headed home to cook. Daddy FaceTimed us and you chatted for a few minutes. While I was cooking I noticed ypu got really quiet I went over to the couch and found you were sleeping. It was like 6p! You slept about an hour. You woke up and said “I’m starving!”

we went to storage to give Chrissy your bmw car.
we went to grandma weezies to give her her grandparents day card. You played with the dogs. Of course you didn’t want to go to sleep and it was after 10p before your did.
