Today, we went to church, Menard's to pick up some supplies for boxes Dave is making and found a few extra things. I am finally going to get the rest of Will's 12"x12" squares hung in his room. That poor boy. I had so many higher hopes for his room. It is a work in process.
Timothy - missed his nap this morning and then was woken up by Maddy early so e was GRUMPY this afternoon. He is really exploring his boundaries right now, completely testing Dave and I. Consistency is key during this stage of his development. This is where being parents is hard because sometimes you just get tired. Thankfully, we kept on top of it most of today. His smile lights up my life though. When he looks at me and just grins I can't help but grin back. Can't help but kiss his little face and hug him. He is lovable. Daily I feel like he says new words. So far he says Bible, Jesus, brother (auder), mama, dada, please (peese), water, banana (nana), ball, baby, strawberries, raspberries, bye-bye and all done. He blows kisses for night night and good bye. He is a good kiddo too.
Will - He is my buddy but I am still his mama. I just enjoy most everything about this kid except when he doesn't listen. Thankfully that doesn't happen to often. Today it happened a couple of times. He ended up not getting stories for bedtime which is very powerful to him and got spanked when I caught him looking out his window after bedtime. I hate both of those and it wasn't the act as much as it was the disobedience. That is what he was disciplined for. Otherwise he enjoyed life today as only a 4 year old boy can. He played in some water, which turned into mud. He rode his bike. He is doing so well with that. I am really proud of him. He helped me dig up dandelions out of the yard. He joined me on a special trip to Starbucks and the grocery store. He had a full day and I was so glad to spend time with him. Very cool kid.
Dave - He makes me smile on a regular basis. He has been building some boxes that are absolutely beautiful. It is so good to see him come into the house with a smile on his face. Does my heart so much good. I love standing next to him as he sings in church and I love that he tries to keep me awake in church when I am so sleepy. Today we both were. He is a good guy and I am blessed.
WW Update: It went mostly well. I snaked a little bit more than I would have liked (prefer no snacking) but overall I think today was a good day. I got a walk in, worked outside for a bit this evening, cleaned the kitchen tonight. All in all, I was active. I love keeping my house and making it more of a home. Praying I can do that more and more. Tomorrow I go to the gym for some elliptical. I would rather run outside but I need to get back into my routine so inside it is for tomorrow.
Until tomorrow...
