I was a touch nervous about today. Its like its built into our family that a day off SHOULD include Brady. He managed to take the stat Monday off after this weekend, but today left him at work. But I have to say, today turned out really cute.
Breakfast was smooth, and I didn’t have to pester anyone to rush. So that was awesome!
We spent the earlier morning hours doing dishes, coloring, reading, playing, and watching Wavy practice her CRAWLING! Its SO fun to watch her be so proud of herself, and even better to see her siblings encourage her and get so excited for her.
She’s just motoring around now 🙂 I drank a lot of coffee and watered my plants.
Cher came for a visit and managed to capture some of the MANY tough life moments, of which we seem to be having a lot.
We’re working hard at some shifts in parenting out here, and its paying off! But its a long, painful process. I’m glad we’re doing it.
Dekker and Laela played Lego during nap time, and once Wavy woke up, we played with her.
She wasn’t as into it as we were.
Some good laughs tho, haha!
After naps, we played some games with my Amazon Alexa. She’s kinda the worst, but we laughed A LOT. Brady was home around 4:30, and started up the BBQ for the first time this season. We had burgers and potato salad. It was delicious!
Once supper was over, Laela got a new bike! 🚴♀️ Of course I was WAY too excited to take pictures, but Jerilee tipped us off to a girl she knew who was offering a little girls bike for free in the exact size we wanted for Laela. She had been using a 12″ bike, and it was pretty small. Dekker’s old bike was 16″ and quite a bit too tall. This little free bike was 14″, cool colors, and just seemed like the perfect fit.
Laela was pretty stoked, and was VERY disappointed to go inside after a few rips up and down the road, but she’ll get plenty more chances soon enough!
Tomorrow is another day that will be full and great. This is shaping up to be a fantastic weekend 🙂 Have a wonderful long weekend, friends!
