Today was actually a pretty awesome day 🙂 As I’ve mentioned, my mom isn’t feeling awesome these days so we haven’t seen her too much. But this morning, I got the kids up, dressed, fed, and out the door to go see her for a few hours!
In the morning, the kids were sooo cute getting dressed! Dekker is starting to have opinions about what he wears, and he kiboshed the shirt I picked for another one. He was very complimentary of Laela, and told her multiple times that he “loved her pretty little dress.” It was pretty much adorable to see him dote on her. They sat and ate very well for breakfast, so I could go get my makeup on and my teeth brushed. When I surfaced from the bathroom, Dekker said “Oooo! I like your lip stuff, mommy!” That little boy is SUCH a sweetheart! I noticed then that he had finished his cereal (likely a while ago) and was waiting for some yogurt. But he hadn’t even asked because he knew I was “busy.” I was waiting for him to ask! My bad. So I grabbed him and Laela both some strawberry yogurt and got that started.
We drove to grandmas house afterwards, and the kids were sooo ready to be there! They were entirely comfortable, and happy to play toys and hear stories. Its so nice that Laela can go up and down the stairs on her own now too, since the sunken living room makes for lots of stair climbing. They just moved in for the couple of hours that we were there. It was so nice to catch up, even just a little bit, with my mom. Dekker was pretty devastated when I began tidying the toys up, but grandma promised him a little treat on their way out. Once everyone was in their jacket and boots, all three of us got to enjoy a little chocolate, which actually really seemed to lessen the blow of leaving.
Since getting home, the kids have napped, and I’ve visited on the phone with Bradys mom. We haven’t talked…I’m gonna say its been since Christmas?! Anyway, it was necessary!! We caught up for a goooood long visit, which was quite lovely. We talked about how great the holiday had been, what we’ve missed in the last month, and whats coming up! Baby talk, work talk, etc.
It was really nice to get in a good solid visit with both moms today 🙂 But the kids are waking up, and Brady is on his way home, and I am sooo hungry! Talking about food will do that to you. (Thanks for that, Elvira 😉 ) Time to take on the rest of the day!
Hope supper was good, ours was , I even had time to make the cookies. So glad for our talk, long overdue! Love and hugs!😊
