Tomorrow is a big day!
We are so excited!
Tomorrow we get to go to "Gotcha" day for our sweet friends as they get to adopt their three precious children. I literally have not been able to think of this all week without crying.
Sweet Mullins fam...you are LOVED.
So we're pumped! And I'm writing about it..because I can't sleep.
In other news.
Confession: I'm really struggling with activities for little man during the day. We go to a park nearly every day...we need out of the apartment, and we both need the sunshine. So our mornings are usually smooth and easy, spent at the park and usually our errands in the morning. By nap time he is exhausted...but at times that only equates into a 2 hour nap. (I realize 2 hours should be plenty..but I truly think he some days would still take two naps if given the opportunity..and only two hours total just isn't cutting it for him) Some days he does a 3 hour nap and those afternoons are much better. Anyways..today-I felt like we were just staring at each other. He climbed on the same box approximately 15 times...he fell probably 7 of those, and then cried, and I picked him up. It's like a weird version of groundhog day. And today I felt like a failure of a parent. Because we just ran out of ideas. I even had an egg carton, a paper bag, some other crafty things thinking we could make a Father's Day present for Brad (what would we make you ask? I have NO idea...so they're all just sitting there) So anyways, that's my confession of the day. I'm learning.
However..despite all that...at the end of the day when Noah gave me some precious sweet snuggles and lots of giggles, I was totally reminded of my absolute joy at the gift of being able to be home with him 6 days a week. It also made me thankful that even though sometimes I feel like a junky Mom...I'm his mama...and he knows he is loved unconditionally, and we'll start fresh tomorrow!
That's it for tonight.
Have to get some sleep so we can be ready for one AWESOME celebration tomorrow and Saturday. YAY!!!!
