This morning I scrapped! It’s been a long time since I scrapped and even though I have two assignments on my list, I did something completely different. I am not sure if I like the page I made, it’s a bit unusual for me, but it was so nice to scrap again. Between that and the art journaling my table is a complete mess.
Nathaniel is growing up by leaps and bounds lately. Still no words but a lot of opinions and anger and frustration. And reaching where he can’t.
But he still continues to be super-sweet sometimes.
Exploring everything. But not the trash, thankfully.
He loves his brother so much and he randomly walked up to him and rubbed his leg. It was such a loving gesture, we were both touched.
And then he sat next to David and listened while David read.
David really liked reading to him.
And Nathaniel must have, too, because he gave David a big hug.
And then we played some more, ate some, read a bunch more and it was bedtime. It’s amazing how tired one can be by 6:31pm. I know for some people that’s when their energy starts coming and they stay up until 2am but those days are long gone for me. It’s rare I make it past 10pm.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that thanks to my meeting yesterday I managed to do better at work today.
2. I am grateful that I scrapped a bit. Nothing like preserving memories.
3. I am so grateful for my kids, even during those super-crazy moments. I love them so deeply.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. working on my mini book – coloring and drawing
2. watching a movie at school – lifecycle of plants
3. doing the workbook with mommy
Sounds like a great day. You’ve got a couple of cuties there.
