Nathaniel woke up at 3am last night and though he desperately tried he couldn’t go back to sleep. I tried everything I could think of. I hugged him, left him alone, held his hand, and even put him on the big bed and nursed him but nothing worked. By then I was wide awake, so we just got up. I read, he played, we hugged, he ate, David woke up and then I decided Nathaniel could go down again. So off he went and so did I. Jake woke up and fed David and I slept for a few hours. We both woke up then and it was much better.
A little while later David started his wii day.
I read more of my book (I am enjoying the Kindle a lot and don’t miss my Sony much) and then I fed the kids again and went to the book fair to get David some early reader books. Then I decided I needed to get out more so I took Nathaniel and went to a local cafe so have a sandwich. We ate and laughed and I read. I finished my book and then we went grocery shopping. I am always so much happier when there is a lot of fruit in the fridge.
When we got back, the kids ate again and Nathaniel was in his pre-bed funny mood.
I snuck a smile from David.
Nathaniel was lying on the floor and laughing and laughing.
And making these weird, funny shrieks.
And of course David joined in, he never misses a fun playing opportunity.
Then the kids had their baths and are now in bed. I did a few of my todos and rested a lot today. Now I am off to do some gratitude art and some layouts.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for simple books that you can get lost in.
2. I am grateful fruit. Fresh, happy, tasty fruit.
3. I am grateful some fresh air and quiet time Nathaniel and I got today. It’s rare I am out with only one kid but it’s also fun.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
