And after days of waking up at 5am, today we hit the jackpot with 4am. Yep 4am. God help me.
I nursed the boy, watched some tv until I could open my eyes and then got up to do my layout while the kids ate breakfast. Of course, Nathaniel was completely wiped by 7:30am and wept and cried so I put him down and that meant David missed school. Not the perfect day. He slept, I worked, David played. When Nathaniel woke up, he played peek-a-boo with the blanket again.
And again.
Cracked himself up.
And then we put him down for another nap, played quietly while I worked and after he woke up again, we went for a short walk but it was way too hot. David let me take a photo and he even smiled.
And now they’re playing ball in the backyard while I type this up so I can go on a date night. All’s well that ends well.
Note to Self:
I’ve been thinking so much about how strongly attitude effects everything. Feeling good gives you the energy to do more, do be more, and to be happier, which is annoying since feeling bad does the opposite. But it also means that you can work to change your attitude and that can change your day and that can then have a snowball effect.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. Watching my boys play ball together. It’s so much fun to see them playing together.
2. Grateful for another date night. Just the two of us. A rare luxury.
3. And grateful for a relatively quiet weekend. Yey.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. daddy daddy daddy.
2. nathaniel.
