And again with getting up at 4:45. I tried everything, including ignoring him but then I just gave up and went downstairs. This also meant my morning went long and uneventful and unproductive. I didn’t want to do anything but lie there and then I couldn’t even nap and I was just frustrated. At ten am, I finally gave up and went upstairs to take a long shower which did help but not enough. So after struggling and working and being frustrated some more, I decided we would have a fun lunch outside. Thanks to all the toys I found, Nathaniel wants to spend all of his time outside anyway, so I cut up strawberries, cheese, hotdogs, and got a bowl of blueberries and toasted some bread and we had our lunch outside as we played.
I love these photos of Nathaniel where you can see he’s smiling even though you can’t see his face.
Then the kids played while I worked. Nathaniel loves balls of all sizes. So did David when he was that age. David played with a tiny watergun he has.
Then I decided it was enough sun so we came back inside. This is Nathaniel waving “Bye bye” cause his frog toy says that right before it turns itself off. So he waves each time he hears it.
And here he is, signing food. He does it often.
And here’s David reading his lego sticker book. He loves this book. It’s awesome.
I am so happy it’s weekend. I need to rest. Even though I did nothing I am feeling super-tired. I am looking forward to sitting and reading my book and doing nothing else. I have no tasks on my list this weekend. Ok maybe just a few small ones.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for our outside lunch. It made me really happy.
2. I am grateful for music today. I’ve been listening to the new Jewel and I love it.
3. I am grateful for the weekend!
