Went to the new Bay Park after school for Boo at the Bay. They had trick or treating, pumpkin painting, games and were showing the movie Hocus Pocus. You told me in the car on the way “I haven’t watched Hocus Pocus in YEARS! I mean, I’ve watched it, but it’s been years!” We saw Kye Gourley from school there and you played with him and sat with him during the movie.

Woke up so excited to see what the tooth fairy brought. She gave you a Starbucks gift card & mentioned in her letter to you that she knew you weren’t allowed to get any more stuff until after you move! So we left early for school so we would have time to go to Starbucks. The lady gave you a free hot chocolate for your tooth. We sat outside and Facetimed Ms. Sandy so she could see your missing tooth!

10/16/22 – No Filter Needed
This morning you woke up way earlier than you should have given how late you went to bed – around 8a. I got up and you immediately got dressed in your swim suit and wanted to know where Jimmey was. You wanted to have your breakfast down by the pool so we did. When you finished, we went down tot he beach for a bit and shortly after, Jimmey and his family joined us. You played hard all day. The water was a little chilly so Jimmey had you up to his unit to play while Daddy & Burt watched football. You guys were so good and played so nicely. We all had dinner together then we went down to the beach for sunset. Tonight it was incredible and it felt so good to watch it. We headed upstairs, showered and played a couple games of Trouble. Sunday Night Football came on nd in an effort to stall going to bed, you asked if you could snuggle with me, grabbed a blanket and climbed into my lap on the couch. In 10 minutes, you and Daddy were both snoring…Hank too! I let you sleep for about 15 minutes and then I picked you up to take you to your room. You woke up a little and started saying “no no no” even grabbing the wall to avoid going into your room. I laid you on the bed and you immediately went back to sleep. I knew it would be an early night after not getting enough sleep last night.
I love you so much!

You and Daddy slept in late, so I took Hank & Harold out for a walk. While I was gone, you woke up and were worried because you couldn’t find me. You woke Daddy up because you were worried after calling me on Alexa but I didn’t answer. When I walked in the door you threw your arms around me like I was gone for 4 years lol.
Daddy & I completely reorganized the garage at Grandma Noot’s house while you ate breakfast & rode your Bolt scooter up and down the street. When we finished, we headed out to the condo. We got settled in and I accidentally fell asleep on the couch… I think we all did! It was a tough week and it felt good to get back in our own space and not be staring at all those boxes.
We headed downstairs to swim, but the rain had rolled in. It didn’t stop you and you were so excited to play in the rain. You ran and “took a cannonball” in the pool and jumped right back out because it was freezing. Jimmey came down to play for a little bit and then we went to dinner with the Romanoff’s at Salty Dog. You and Jimmey played so well together and after dinner walked the dock and used boat lines as microphones to give a big concert lol. When we got home, you took a shower, jumped in jammies and headed up to their condo to watch Super Pets. You guys ate popcorn, cookies and god knows what else. I finally got you to go down to our unit around 10p. You complained because you weren’t tired, but were completely passed out in 5 minutes!
I love you so much!
10/14/22 – Climbing High
You slept with Hank in your room last night and came to my room at 6:15a because he needed to pee. We took him out and you were trying to be up for the day. I made you climb in bed with me and snuggle and you snuggled up with me and fell back to sleep quickly. Then I had to wake you up at 8:15a so we could head to school.
We had parent teacher conferences this morning, so I dropped you off at the office for a few minutes to hang with the girls. When I got back, you were teaching Jennie and playing class. Ms. Marchese had nothing but wonderful things to say about you academically and socially. She said you are a great friend, very empathetic and a hard worker. She did say you are a little sneaky and sometimes play with stuff in your desk, like pictures of Hank lol. You scored in reading and math in the first assessment of the year where they want you to be by the end of the year. I’m so proud of you for doing so well in school and I’m so happy you love your teachers and friends at school.
We left the office, ran a few errands and met Rylan & Shyla at O’Leary’s for lunch. We stayed and played a the park until 4:50p. You guys had fun running, dancing, playing, swinging & climbing a huge tree that fell during the hurricane. You were climbing a huge branch up high and started to get scared. You kept repeating “the fear isn’t going to win!”
We left to meet the people who bought our house on Molly Circle to give them the keys and get the last of our things. You stood on the front porch and said bye bye Molly Circle! We went to dinner at Gecko’s then headed back to Grandma Noot’s. In the car you told me you wanted to take a shower and get in your PJs. You were dressed so warm and played so hard that you were sweating all day. We did shower as soon as we got home and then you wanted to do some homework and sight words. We finally got in bed, read your shark book and watched a quick YouTube video about viper dogfish sharks – you were asleep by 10:15p.
I love you so much!

I came to school for lunch and stayed for recess because you wanted me to! I love coming and enjoy seeing how you play with the kids. No school tomorrow because you have parent teacher conferences. We met a lady who bought your baby crib at Molly then met Daddy at Mi Pueblo for dinner. When we got home you put some music on and threw a concert in the living room. I was tired and tried to get you to go to bed, but you were committed to staying up late since there’s no school tomorrow. I fell asleep with you in your bed snuggling together. I love you so much!
10/12/22 – Reunited!
You ate your breakfast and were ready early, so we stopped at Dunkin but they were out of donuts so we went to Jack’s Donuts and grabbed a donut for Ms. Wolleon and Ms. Marchese. As soon as you got to your classroom, Ms. Marchese sent me a photo of you reunite with Cheetie!!! You were so happy to see him again.
When I picked you up from school, I broke the news to you that I learned this morning when I met with our project manager that house will be delayed again and instead of moving in November it will be December. I was so upset and a little tearful. You put your hand on my shoulder and said “Mama, it’s fine! I LOVE my room at Grandma Noot’s house. My toys are in my room! I’ve NEVER had my toys in my room before!” Then you told me “it’s ok Mama. It’s a lot. I know you are sad, but it’s a lot.” My heart immediately melted. I know it will all be ok, I just wanted Christmas to be perfect and it’s so much harder to do if we aren’t settled. But as always, you are right there to remind me that all we need to is to be together. I love you so much and appreciate your perspective always. I felt so much better.
You passed out early tonight. We’ve all been exhausted all week and could use the rest!
I love you so much!
