Day 5
So... I missed a few days. Which doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. But I’m back! And that’s the important part. A few months ago, I would have beat myself up for missing even one day and just given up completely. So this is a big deal that I’m picking it up now and trying again.
Today was a beautiful day, which helps make up for yesterday (it rained all day). Getting to play outside with Big Bro while Little Bro napped was such a nice time. Every day this week we’ve spent some time playing together (outside or inside -weather depending). Giving him that one-on-one attention has helped our afternoons go so much more smoothly. Monday afternoon and today, he even took a nap while we watched a movie (thank you Peace & Calming).
I was a little discouraged by the proposed “timeline” for reopening the state. Kids are starting to go stir crazy, adults are running out of activists for their kids to do, even the pets are starting to get a little restless. The way any given day might go is always hit or miss. Some days we have a really great morning and afternoon! Other days, not so much. But no matter what, I love these boys so much and I’m so grateful I get to spend so much time with them this Spring!
