Us Right Now – March 12

jake
Jake was the reason I was able to function this week. Not only did he take care of this children for three consecutive days but both Tuesday and Thursday, he woke up at 3am, went to work and then came back home at 10am so that I could then go to work. I didn’t even make it back home until around 6pm on each of the days. And as opposed to my daily crazy, he was calm and happy when I got home. He’s my hero.

I had a long long long week but it was also super productive. I worked really hard all week but especially on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I woke up did my work at home and then went to work for the whole day. I worked, worked, worked. On Wednesday, I had the privilege of meeting and escorting Brene Brown which was incredible and I am so thankful. On Thursday night, I had a BPC chat and on Friday we had one hour when Nathaniel had a friend over. Other than those, I pretty much worked the entire week.

David had a good week at school. He’s been playing with his friend Julian most days now and comes home happy from school. He loves music and p.e. and I think he’s gotten more and more used to being there. He still claims not to like it when he hears that he has to go to bed because it’s a school day but I do think he is really enjoying himself. And I am very grateful for that.

Nathaniel is learning more words and now he says “done” and he is paying more attention to every single thing. He’s so happy lately. When I go to get him from his nap, he’s smiling a big, wide smile. When he picks up his plastic phone, he makes the song play so he can dance in circles. He’s also been watching the iPod and eating green beans and graham crackers with cream cheese. Anything with cream cheese to be honest. And he’s also learning to share since we now have weekly playdates over here on Fridays. My big boy.
