tulips. they bring me more joy than any other flower.
Today was the perfect day. Perfect. I had no work and decided to just relax and not put any rules on my day. I did still exercise and read to David and read and do other things but for most of the day I just relaxed. And so did the kids. Our typical morning started like this. David on the computer and Nathaniel pointing to the TV and saying “choo choo”
Then he got curious about David’s game.
I told him no choo-choo so he played with his new toys for a bit.
And then the balls. He loves balls. It’s one of his few words.
David was a joy too. I love these shots with him looking down and a hint of a smile.
And then the genuine thing.
he loves making Nathaniel laugh and kept trying to do it today by juggling and falling on the couch.
and he succeeded.
oh, yes, he did.
Nathaniel played by himself for a while longer, too.
This was before the meltdown about the choo-choo or lack thereof. He threw himself from couch to the floor and kept going on and on about the TV. but I didn’t let up. Then Jake came, thankfully, and we all went out to dinner. Which was wonderful.
And now they are sleeping and I am about to snuggle up with more books. Tomorrow, there’s work.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for the amazing time I spent with The Beauty of Different and Ordinary Sparking Moments. Both amazing books. Now I get to finish The Gifts of Imperfection. Also amazing.
2. I am grateful for a great family dinner. Always grateful for time together.
3. I am grateful for a quiet day with lots of reflection.
