Today started quietly but it didn’t turn out to be as routine as I originally thought. Nathaniel woke up at 5am and he was ready for the day. Playing, happy, rested.
Me, not so much. But I went along with it and got up and started my day. (Not like I had much choice.) He’s really into exploring new toys lately. He loves the craft boat David and I made.
And the singing frog I found in the garage overhaul. He loves music and dancing. He has this funny dance so I videotaped it today. And he hasn’t gotten the hang of the toy yet so he will randomly press a button (but not the right one to actually get the toy to sing) and exasperate David to no end as you can see in the movie.
He also loves going outside. Begs to go out and as soon as he’s out, he looks at me like “What? You’re not coming,too?”
David’s still exploring his Lego magazine, picking what he wants and what he doesn’t want.
I do like being outside more and have to take more photos in natural light. It’s a shame we’re often out when it’s bad light with lots of shadows.
And here’s David annoyed at being trapped outside, too.
After lunch, my friend Jess came over with her son Beckett. We hadn’t seen them since last September so it was wonderful to get to spend the afternoon with them and have the kids play and get to talk. Jess is my roommate from college so we go way way back and I love her so. She’s expecting another little one in two months and I can’t wait to meet this little girl. Nothing like old friends, is there?
Now we’re all tired. David’s passed out sleeping, but Nathaniel is still struggling in bed, way way past his bedtime. And I am off to read and relax as soon as I finish typing this. I need to wind down. Maybe tomorrow will actually be routine.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for Jess’ visit. It was so nice to see her.
2. I am grateful for David’s generosity. He really likes having friends over and while he’s not always so perfect, he really tries to play well with others.
3. I am grateful for getting some work done today. It actually felt good to be working. I am grateful to have a job that I feel strongly about.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. playing with Beckett.
2. watching a little TV with mommy.
3. daddy.
