Today was a pretty full day, but being that its approaching the end of the day, I still feel great! I feel relaxed. My day was busy but with lots of good things.
I woke Dekker shortly after 10am, to save his bum from some grief, and because we were going to spend some time with my mom in the afternoon. He and I had breakfast together, and while I was trying to photograph the huge amount of banana on his face, I got a couple good ones 🙂
We headed out straight after we ate so we could get to moms at a good time and help make lunch.
Our afternoon was great. Just as it became time for lunch to be made and a few errands to be run, Dekker needed a nap. So baby went down, fish went in the oven, veggies and fruit were chopped, and laundry went into the washer. We finished up a movie mom had started earlier and just relaxed. Dekker slept away the afternoon.
He finally woke up just as Brady called to say he had forgotten his wallet in the console of my car and needed it to pick up pizza for our evening movie date with friends. So I got Dekkers diaper changed (already better than yesterday even without the new prescription) and we raced out to bring Brady his wallet. We had a relaxed drive home and I really didn’t do much when we arrived. Our friends are loving and forgiving of messes 🙂 so the toys stayed spread out and the few dishes stayed on the counter. Life goes on. They even brought a delicious strawberry crisp for dessert. The biggest surprise was the gifts. Our small group of friends from church got together and made us a HUGE variety of meals and muffins, etc. just because I have been feeling so crappy and they want us to have good food when I’m not feeling up to cooking. I feel so very blessed to have friends like them. Not sure how to properly thank people like that for such unexpected (but welcomed!) help. I love you guys!
Supper was delicious and we watched Pitch Perfect, which is always awesome. The kids played together well for the first time ever 🙂 Dekker is sooo shy of other kids, but he did really well having another little one around sharing his toys. I was proud 🙂
Lastly, just a funny random discovery of the day – Dekker knows his belly! We haven’t really pumped into him where his nose and ears are, things like that. But I mentioned a while ago that he’s started lifting his shirt and patting/rubbing his belly. Today I was laying on the floor showing my mom my baby bump, and when she touched it, Dekker came up and lifted his shirt to have his belly touched. We started asking him where his belly is, and he knew! And was super proud of it 🙂 I love him.
What a fabulous day. I feel like it might take some time to wind down from. But tomorrow will be a busy day in the city! Best get rested!
