Today was such a nice day that I decided we should all go out to lunch. David was beyond thrilled, especially since it meant he didn’t have to eat his vegetables for lunch.
He had a bagel and I had a chicken sandwich and Nathaniel munched on a banana. We all shared water and an orange juice. David and I played “I spy” and it was a great time. Sorry, I missed your call, Mom, but we were out!
Nathaniel is getting more and more into his walking toy. I wonder if he’ll walk soon. He’s still way more into crawling than anything but he does like standing up. Let’s see…
Good, full week here. Still not getting too much reading done but everything else is progressing nicely. Did some more art in the morning. Loving that I get to do it. Some stitching tonight (though now my arm is hurting like crazy.)
And we all played some Wii tonight too. An all around perfect day.
Note to Self:
I don’t know if you remember but in the beginning of this year, I started driving David to school more slowly and with less stress. I used to always worry about being late, Nathaniel falling asleep in the car and getting stuck having to sit there. Magically Nathaniel did not fall asleep once since I started this. Until today. As I was driving back from having dropped off David at school this morning, I realized that Nathaniel was being really quiet. He normally looks out the window but likes to babble, too. When I first realized he fell asleep, I panicked. Then I calmed myself down. Drove home slowly and then when I unbuckled him, he woke up. I took him upstairs, nursed him a bunch, and put him in his bed. He fussed for a while, sat there for a while, and then rolled over and slept. Until it was time to pick David back up. (He was really grouchy when I put him back in the car to get David but that’s neither here nor there.) The fact is, I just had to be patient. If I gave him a bit of time, he fell asleep in his bed and I was able to do my work. Lesson for Karen: the world doesn’t end when Nathaniel falls asleep in the car.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. Lunch out with my kids. How luxurious.
2. Playing Wii with Jake. I am not a big video game person and suck at all the games, but I still love playing with my husband.
3. I called the embassy today and I am grateful that all my paperwork is done and soon to be on its way. That’s something I put off for 6 years. Big frog that I finally finished eating!
David’s started doing a grateful list to so I will list his here, too. He only has to pick two things.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. He got to make some goodie bags to give away to this class tomorrow for Purim so he said making those bags was one of his.
2. Getting to go out for lunch with Mommy and Nathaniel and eating a bagel and orange juice.
