After school, I told you I have a surprise for you. You said “Dunkin’ Donuts?” I said no and wouldn’t tell you. We were driving down 41 and when i turned on University you figured out we were Picking up Daddy from the airport. You were so excited and you started shouting “Daddy! Daddy! DAAAAADDDDDDDYYY!” Out the window 😂
You slept in a little bit because it was so late when we got home last night. You were up until 11:30p. You came out of my room on a mission to find Little Red and you were cracking up when you found him growing a candy cane garden. We took the dogs out and saw Jimmey & his family so you went up to play with Jimmey. We headed to the pool, but the heater wasn’t working so you guys didn’t swim. You played around the pool, in the sand and had some snacks until Louie had to go up and nap. You wanted to go up to our unit so we did and took showers. Later in the afternoon, Kelly asked us to meet them downstairs to do sidewalk chalk. You made quite an intricate set of ocean animals. I made a Christmas tree which you thought was a genius idea so you made one too. We headed down to the beach for sunset where you, Jimmey and Burt started throwing mangrove berries at each other. You thought it was hilarous, until it wasn’t, and it ended in tears lol. We headed upstairs to have dinner together then you had to take another shower to get all the berries off of you! We headed to bed around 8p. You listened great and by the time I got back from flipping over the laundry, you had brushed teeth, peed and climbed in bed. I couldn’t get you to put your game down though and you ended up getting mad and going to your room where you fell asleep immediately.
I love you so much!
We had a lazy day around the condo in the morning. Little Red was hiding in the freezer eating a push pop. You were worried he didn’t come because your listening ears were having trouble last night before bed. I went to fill our water bottles and get some ice and he startled me, which you thought was hilarious!
We went upstairs to Jimmey’s unit to play games and do some crafts. You guys put Christmas clings on the sliders, made Christmas ornaments and colored. We left to go have lunch on our balcony, Facetime Daddy and walk the dogs. We got ready to go see the rest of the kitchen island installed at the new house before we met Ms. Sandy at Dim Sum King for dinner. I had a Christmas party to go to for work with Marina. She kept you and you guys went to UTC to see the Christmas lights and ride the horse & carriage. You couldn’t wait to get home to play with Malibu. You had a PB&J for a snack (you JUST ate dinner and polished off a bag of kettle corn on the horse & carriage) and watched some Christmas shows snuggling with Ms. Sandy. I picked you up at her house and I could hardly get you in the car because you didn’t want to leave him! I finally got you back in the car & we headed home. You were getting sleepy in the car but then when we got home you were starving & NOT tired at all. I was exhausted & fell asleep with you – or before you lol. I had to get up at 1:30a to move your elf and you were snuggling with Hank.
I love you so much!
This morning you were cracking up that Little Red left all his candy wrappers on the TV stand. After school we stopped by the house because they were bringing the kitchen island. You were speaking Spanish to all the guys and I couldn’t get you out of there you were so excited to watch it go in. It was getting late almost 7p and although you were hungry you didn’t want to leave! I wanted to stay too, but it was getting late and the dogs were patiently sitting in the car. We grabbed our order from Whole Foods, got you a couple of slices of pizza and headed home to the condo. We are both getting so excited about the house and the island was amazing to see it going in!
When you woke up this morning, you were very aware that it was Dec 1, but you were surprised & quite pleased to see Little Red was back! Last night before bed, you asked me if we could paint your nails tomorrow before school. I told you that your nail polish is at Grandma Noot’s house & you said “oh ok. We can paint my nails after school then.” Fortunately, Little Red brought you “paint polish” (as you have always called it) so we were able to paint your nails on the balcony before school. You were soooo excited! You asked me to change to wear the matching school shirt that you chose to wear, so of course I did! You marched confidently in to school & you were excited to show Ms. Wolleon your nails.
After school, we went home & you opened your Lego Advent calendar. We put todays together (admittedly I had to find a blog to show a better photo to know what to do lol!), had dinner then ran to Publix to get fruit for your lunch tomorrow. Your elf in the classroom came too and you guys got to decorate the class Christmas tree.
I love you so much!
This morning, Daddy woke you up whispering in your ear & you got up and hugged him so hard! We had to hurry and get out the door so we could head to see Dr. Mac – but we hurried so much we forgot Grinchy at home. You were hoping to have his teeth looked at too. You are always excited to see him and remain cavity free. He said you have 2 more loose teeth! When I dropped you at school, you asked me to come to lunch, so I did! You were chasing a lizard and enlisted my aide to help you!! His tail came off and I was out! Lol!
When we got home, you helped me do laundry. When Daddy got home, you were moving clothes from the washer to the dryer. He heard us in the laundry room and came there first. When you looked up and saw him you were so excited and shouted “Daddddddddy!!!!” He was so proud of you for doing the laundry. We had dinner, you opened your Thanksgiving card from Grandma Weezie and then you put on a performance of Let It Snow! We headed to bed and I fell asleep with you, until I had to get up and get your Elf out to arrive this morning! I’m looking so forward to this Christmas season with you. We are supposed to be moving in 10 days and although it will be hectic, I’m excited to have Christmas in our new home!
I love you so much!
This morning, Hank woke you up sniffing your ears. It is so sweet to see you and him snuggling and loving on each other like you have been lately. You are much less rough with him and you guys have really become best friends. I’m so happy to see it.
The breezeway in the condo is being resurfaced, so we had to be out by 8a which is about 45 minutes earlier than normal so you had to get up and out the door. We took the dogs to the groomer before school and you didn’t want to leave Hank. You were tearful because you missed him! After school, we stopped at the Winter Spectacular on St Armand’s and met the Romanoffs to watch Polar Express in the circle and ride the rides. We grabbed pizza and ate at our front row blanket seats to the movie! We closed the place down, rode the last train ride of the night & headed home. We got home and jumped in bed after a quick Let It Snow performance. You snuggled up with Hank and you were both snoring in 2 minutes! Daddy flew back but didn’t get home until almost 11p so you missed him. I got up at 3a to take Hank out to pee and when I got back, you were laying sideways in bed with your head on Daddy’s booty!
I love you so much!
After school, we stopped at the house to show Chrissy & Olivia your new closets went in today.
We went to dinner at Dim Sum King then went to UTC to watch the Christmas lights and get ice cream. We sang and danced in the middle of the street. It was so much fun and you put your head on my shoulder and just said “Mom I love you!” and my heart melted. I would NOT trade these days for anything in my life!
Daddy sent us a picture of him at the Steelers game wearing his jersey. When I showed it to you, you said “Tell Daddy “G said Go 43! Go Picksburg Steelers!”
I love you so much!
Daddy left early this morning to fly to Indianapolis for the Steelers game tomorrow night. We were slow getting up and hung around the condo until you decided around 11:30a that you wanted to take Hank to St. Armand’s and eat at Daiquiri Deck, like we did when we first got him. We checked out the Winter Spectacular at the circle and they let Hank participate. He was even riding in the train!! He’s such a good boy! We stayed until 6p & ran home to let Harold out & drop Hank off. He had no nap and a full day of everyone petting him and loving on him. He was good and even laid down while he was waiting for you to ride all the rides! We ran right back down there and stayed until it started to rain. We stopped at Cha Cha Coconuts to have a quick bite before heading home. You played and jumped in the rain while we waited for our food! You had so much fun! When we got home, we showered and jumped in bed. What a wonderful way to end our Thanksgiving break. I really enjoyed our time together.
I love you so much!
I ran into town to order your Santa session photos then get a massage. You hung out with Daddy. When I got back, I made lunch, we colored, played with Hank & then we jumped in the pool while Daddy washed his truck. When you finished coloring you kissed your finger and said “Mwah!” You are so funny! We swam through the sunset and then it got chilly QUICK so we went upstairs and showered. We got into jammies, snuggled on the couch and watched a little TV. It was nice to be back home after all the Thanksgiving fun!
I love you so much!
