Show stopper

My sister came over tonight! I so rarely get to see her, being that we live a good 8 hours apart. But she’s out for a visit and came over for the evening. It was so good to be together 🙂

We served, as per usual, honey chicken for dinner with a big green salad. We watched a movie in the basement while we ate and while Dekker slept. He woke up with about a half hour of the movie left, but it was time for him to get up, so we paused the movie and got some food into Deks before heading back down to finish the movie.

This kid is getting funnier and funnier by the day! I have never seen him show off the way he did tonight! He started with squats. I can just picture it in my head right now and my side still hurts from laughing so much. He’d just stand in a squat and wait for everyones approval. From there, it went to standing on one foot, into lunges, and into spinning. I have never seen him do almost all of those things. Ever. He was in rare form. He often takes time to warm up to people but he picks up on Auntie’s love immediately and they got along famously. Warm heart.

We kept him up a little later because he was so happy and playful, and then he had a goooood wail when it was bedtime, and he hasn’t made a sound since Brady walked into his bedroom. It was time. Shortly after, Caity headed back to my parents house, where shes staying. It was so nice having her around, but luckily we’ll still see her for sure once more before she leaves. But its better to focus on the great time we all had together this evening I think.

Guess what! Tomorrow is my day of no plans. I wonder if, after being pretty busy for the last few days, if I’m going to feel relieved or completely bored and fidgety. Maybe I’ll make Caity’s granola recipe…
