Slept all night in your bed. Came to my room at 630. Snuggled and gave me lots of kisses. Wanted me to tell you stories of when you were 2 years old and when you were a baby. We watched videos of you when you were little at gymnastics and on the boat. You were laughing so hard at the videos. It’s bittersweet how much you have grown
Giovanna wanted me to make sure to tell you that the mighty pups names are Ella and Tuck. ?
Another successful project! ? ?
Riding in car to get mail w daddy
Dinner w Gma noot
played when we got home then bed
When I got home from biking, you were in the living room & showed me that you picked your own outfit and got dressed by yourself. You wanted to play Lion King as soon as I walked in the door. I promised to, but needed to shower first. You ran to my room to brush teeth & hair with me. We played Lion King on my bed until Ms. Sandy arrived.
Daddy made your breakfast & you had an “egg dog” sammie. You thought it was hilarious and wolfed the whole thing down.
You got to swim at Ms. Sandy’s then took a bath. When I got home after work, we ate dinner then Played kick ball outside. When I kicked the ball you said “ooohhh, that’s a big one Mama!”
We came in and painted your toes, you put band aids on Daddy & I, then we played Paw Patrol. When I asked you to put away your Lion King & Toy Story toys, you immediately said “yes Mama” and also put away you magnets too!
I love you so much!
This morning, when I went bike riding, you were sleeping with Daddy. When I got home, you had already gotten dressed & when I told you how proud of you I was, you said “hold on Mama, I need to go brush my teeth and my hair.” You made me feel your hair after you brushed it. You told me if you “brush it fast, it gets the knots faster out!” Ms. Sandy took you to the car wash and thankfully, Grandma Noot brought by your watches. You were very happy to find them when you got home. You had a great day with Ms. Sandy.
When I got home, we cut the pineapple that Chelsea brought us and put it in water to sprout so we can plant it. You were so excited to see what the crown looked like inside. You weren’t happy to learn it will take at least a year before we have fruit from this plant! You used a chip clip to make a cape out of your blanket, since it wasn’t long enough to tie like the Christmas blanket lol. We watched Brave & you had a popsicle. You & Daddy shared Cashews and you were telling me to try them because they are spicy lol. You were cracking me up.
When the movie was over, we went to your room to go to bed. You were squirmy & I was tired, so I’m pretty sure I fell asleep before you. I woke up at 10:30p & kissed your forehead before I left.
I love you so much!
Daddy said you woke up right after I left to bike. When I got home, you told me that you got dressed (well half way – no pants), brushed your teeth and hair, all by yourself. You also told me you didn’t want to go on the boat, that you’d rather have a home day & play with Harry.
I made breakfast then we packed up to go on the boat. We met Grandma Noot at the dock. We went to lunch at Pops in Venice & we saw Ms. Moe & Jack Daniels there. We took them for a short ride on the boat because it was getting ready to storm. You were in the back talking to Jack Daniels and John. You were definitely running the show Lol! As we headed back to the dock the sky was black south of us. We narrowly missed the storm and it was huge. When we were in the channel almost to the dock a huge wind blew by. We were packing up our things & Grandma Noot put your watches in her purse. You told her “don’t forget to give me back my watches!!”
We got our stuff and ran to the car as it started to pour! We made it just in time! You were tired but didn’t sleep on the boat so I thought you might sleep in the car. You were making faces at daddy in the mirror, giggling. Then he started tickling you. We went home, played, watched a little tv, had dinner. I ran to the office for a minute to sign some things for Romo, Daddy texted me that you fell asleep during stories after your bath. You were out by 830! It was a super fun day.
I love you so much!
This morning when you woke up, you snuggled with me and said “Please can you try not to talk. I’m not saying you can’t talk. I’m just asking you to try not to talk. Some people are trying to get ready and some people are trying to rest.” Daddy made breakfast for you & we were actually running ahead of schedule!
When we got to gymnastics, you insisted on wearing your new frozen mask, even during the class. You & Charlotte were the only two kids in class again. You were doing good, but then on the tumbletrak, the sillies got the best of you both & you started running around & not listening to Coach Lexie. I had to go down to the floor to get you to listen.
After class, we stopped by Daddy’s office so he could fix something really quick. You snacked on a banana. Then we stopped by the Caribbean BBQ food truck. He got ribs & got you a pulled pork sandwich, which was HUGE!!! You LOVED it! After lunch, you went with me to run errands. You were starting to get droopy eyes, and you told me you might fall asleep in the car, but you wanted to stay up to see the lights (meaning you wanted me to go to the car wash, which has lights inside). I asked you if we could go to Whole Foods first because it is on the way to the car wash. At first you said no, then you changed your mind and said “sure Mama, we can go to Whole Foods first, then to the lights.”
We shopped quickly because I knew you were tired. When we left, I started to drive to the car wash. You were asleep in the carseat within 5 minutes, so I turned around, went home, unloaded my groceries and planted all my plants in the pots we bought at TJ Maxx, all while you slept in the car! It was perfect timing! You slept for a little more than an hour. When you woke up, you yawned & stretched your arms & legs. You said “Mama, was that a good sleep?” It was perfect sweet girl!!
Grandma Noot came over to hang out with you so Daddy & I could go on a date. You were so good for her. You watched movies and played. She thought you were going to fall asleep before we got home. Of course as soon as you heard the garage door go up, you told her, “I want to go hug my Mama and Daddy.” It was off to the races. You were wide awake & it was almost 11:30p before you fell asleep.
I love you so much!!
This morning I woke up before you, in your bed. I went to shower & get ready and when you woke up, you came to my bathroom, dressed and ready for the day! You had on your Steelers jersey (backwards), panties & you superhero mask you made at school. You brushed your hair and teeth, excited you had done your jobs! You wanted to play with your glider plane, so we took it outside to fly it. You threw it so high it landed on the roof. Daddy had to get out the fishing pole (with the kite on it) to get it down! He left for work & we played for a little while longer. Emmy, a neighbor girl who is 2 years old, was walking with her nanny & stopped to chat. You showed her how to throw the plane. Ms. Sandy arrived & also played with us. You let everyone take a turn throwing the plane.
We went inside & you tried on your new fishing hat, which is completely adorable. I had to run to work, but I came back home to have a picnic lunch with you & Ms. Sandy. She brought pork carnitas tacos for you guys to share and you were so excited to make “Poppos tacos” at home! We sat on the lanai and had a great time. It was so nice to get to do this since you have been out of school. I have really missed having lunch with you.
You guys changed your clothes, took the glider back outside & did your new bodies project & made a skeleton. I got home from work & you & Daddy were watching Lion King upstairs. I made pasta & you wanted to play rather than eat. Recently, you have started sitting with your legs crossed & it cracks me up. It came out of nowhere.
After dinner we went outside to watch the amazing sunset that was happening. When it got dark, we lit the fire pit and played with your Lion King characters. Shortly after 9, we went to the potty to get ready for bed. You took your new Frozen mask and put it on your giant duck. You are so silly. We went to bed, snuggled and you were asleep in 10 minutes. I didn’t realize how tired you were! Your hands were folded on your chest and you were so peaceful. Right before you fell asleep, you kissed me several times and kept telling me how much you love me. I can’t even imagine what I would have done without you. You are so amazing!!!
I love you so much!
Ms. Sandy took your for a picnic lunch at Bird Key park. You had a blast & she sent me lots of cute pictures.
Ms. Sandy had to wake you up to get ready to go & you cried the whole time until you got in the truck. You fell back asleep on the way to gymnastics. You were mad going into the gym, but perked up & had a good class.
I ordered you a Frozen mask & it arrived today. You were so excited that it had Olaf on it. We made pizza & played. Grandma Noot came over too. You made a dress out of your blanket & wore it all night. We sat outside by the fire, talking and making s’mores. You were roasting the marshmallows for all of us. You looked forward to this all day!
Grandma Noot read some books to you while we were in bed. She left to go home & you & I read Lady & the Tramp. You gave me kisses and hugs, said “I love you Mama.” Then you dozed off. I fell asleep with you. When I woke up at 2am, I needed to pee. As soon as I moved you opened your eyes & said “Mama turn over and snuggle with me.” I went to the bathroom and had to come back to your bed because you weren’t going back to sleep until I did! I slept with you all night & we snuggled.
I love you so much!!!!
This morning started with the usual harassment of poor Harold. Ms. Sandy took you for a cheeseburger picnic in the truck then some painting fun and flying your glider plane outside. She offered to take you for Poppo’s Tacos, but you chose a burger instead!
When I got home, we ate then went for a bike ride. I got you some new LED lights for your bike tires. You were very happy about them. We ate picnic dinner (round 2 for you) on the front porch. You picked a flower off of our bush & put it in my hair. Then Daddy took my bike around the block. You raced on your bike to catch up with him. I was scared you were by yourself & had no way to catch up with you!!!! It was really windy, so Daddy got the kite out. You were flying it by yourself too! When Ms. Moe walked by, you couldn’t wait to show it to her. You let her throw the plane a little bit too!
When we went inside to go to be, I turned on your fan and grabbed a book. You told me “I don’t need the noise fan because I can sleep and noise doesn’t bother me.”
I love you so much!!
When I got home from biking you were still in my bed sleeping, snuggled up next to Daddy. While I was in the bathroom getting ready you came in, dressed for the day, very proud of yourself!!! You brushed your teeth & when Ms. Sandy arrived, you told her how you did all your jobs already!
She took you to her house to swim. You got to play with your new glitter noodle and your mermaid flipper!
After dinner we took Harry for a walk, watered the plants and played ball. We had a very fun night.
I love you so much!!!
