Sunday
This morning at breakfast, you said that you had a dream that you and I were picking
sunflowers. You frequently tell us your dreams in the morning. Daddy is currently on
tour with the Apples in Stereo. He will be home on Aug. 5th, late.
We played house and store in the front yard this morning. Actually, you played and I
kind of played and worked in the front yard. I'm always trying to "do stuff" as much as
I can. I feel guilty at the end of the day. I try to make time for you, but then I also have
to ignore you just to get stuff done. Like paying bills, cleaning, studying, gardening, etc.
But, to my defense, I took you to Jakobson Park today with Moogie and Doogie. We went in the paddle boats and then you played on the play ground equipment. Then, Moogie and I took you
to the pool. You did the doggie paddle. You have been such an awesome swimmer this year. You are very excellent. You took swim lessons with Miss Kate in June and you wouldn't even put your head under. Now you are awesome!!!Friday, I asked you to listen to the sound of the water when you went under. When you came up, I asked you what it sounded like. You said, "It sounds like sparkles." Are you kidding me? That was so cute.
We came home and I fixed you dinner while you watched Shrek. Then, I watered the plants outside while you ran around naked. You got in trouble for running down the side walk and not stopping when I said to stop. No Popsicles tomorrow. I also smacked you on the butt for that. I've only done that 3 times in your whole life.
After a bath, you watched Pee-Wee's play house and then I rocked you to sleep. (I let you nurse a bit.) Even though you "officially" stopped nursing on your birthday, I let you tonight because I was desperate for you to go to sleep. You went to bed at 9:30, and I have been in my office since then. You are asleep in my bed, naked of course.

Love,
Mommie
