Today was just like most days; we woke up about 8:30 and Daddy & I got you breakfast. Today you had cheesy eggs, strawberries, & mango papaya apple sauce. You love to feed yourself anything that requires a spoon. You say "moon" for spoon and are very proud of yourself. You end up wearing a quarter of it but at least most of it ends up in your mouth. You watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse during breakfast and you always wave hello to Mickey & friends in the beginning and then goodbye at the end. It makes me smile :).
Daddy as usual had to head off to work before you were done eating breakfast, but you usually take an hour (sometimes longer) to eat in the morning. So after breakfast it was just you & I. I dressed you, brushed your teeth (which you hate) and then it's time to play! While you play, I try to do some work on the computer and also I continuously am tidying up the house, of course taking lots of breaks to play with you too. You have a way of keeping me on my toes w/ picking up after you....today for example you have scattered all through out the living room, dining room, and kitchen some of your favorite toys...pooh, tigger, mermaid, cinderella, piglet, a stuffed elephant, a duck's beak whistle, your ballerina music box, stuffed monkey, and one of your favorite books "you are my sunshine" ( you say sunshine as you flip through the pages). Those are mixed in with your other favorite "toys" your drinking cups, mommy's tupperware containers, and today you just had to have this medium white box w/ lid that I want to use for my coupons. Right before lunch you came over to me holding a lace romper that I bought you months ago...you found it in your bottom drawer of your dresser...you apparently wanted to wear it so I put it on you over you clothes and that made you very happy. You continuously make me giggle during the day...I wish I could capture all the moments on here for you. One other moment today that was especially amusing...I was in the kitchen making your lunch when all of a sudden I heard you whimper and call for me. I looked around the corner in the hallway in front of your room & there you are ... you had put yourself in the medium size white box that you just had to have this morning and were saying "stuck" b/c you could not get yourself out. Oh Livie...I'm so glad I could snap a quick photo of you in that box! So many times when you do something funny I just am not quick enough w/ my phone to catch a photo. I quickly "rescued" you from that box and then it was time for lunch.
Today you had 3 chicken nuggets, 2 helpings of peas, and peaches. After lunch you had some more time to play and then it was time for a nap. Now you usually nap a good 2-3 hours for me each afternoon but today it was only an hour. I just had enough time to pick up all your toys, wipe down the counters and table, dust, throw in some laundry, and sweep the floors...then I heard you cry. I tried to soothe you back to sleep but sometimes you just need your mommy. So I rocked you for another 45 minutes wrapped up in a cozy warm blanket and I was thankful for the snuggle time. I know one day soon nap times will be over & you'll be away at school during the day...I think about this so much Liv...and I want you to know that I treasure these days of having you close. One day when you are older I hope you know and remember or atleast have knowledge through these blogs that I treasured my days w/ you. Even w/ a mile long to do list - I never manage to get through many of those items each day - it doesn't matter. You come first. I am soooooo thankful that I can savor these days with you. And I do. Always know that.
Now it's time for a cup of coffee for me + a snack of gold fishes & raisins for you. I've put in Rapunzel for you to watch for your afternoon movie and now I'm trying my best to catch up on some of your blog entries - it's only been on my to-do list for the last couple of months. :)
I LOVE YOU!
mommy
