Nothing Exciting Pet peeve: Wind blowing my side swept bangs to the other side of my face. Once the wind stops the bangs flop down right in front of my eyes and all out of place.
It's soooo windy here! It takes windyness to a whole new level. Our bbq cover is constantly blown off. On garbage day people's garbage cans are blown all over the road and down the street. It's crazy.
Do I need to tell you that Adriel loves joy school? Is there anyone who doubted he would? The first day he cried when it was time for him to come home. None of the other kids cried. The other kids like to go home with their moms. I'm not complaining that Adriel is social and likes to be with other kids without me being around, that's good. It's the crying that I could do with out. So we had a talk later when he was calmed down about it and the next time he was fine. I just have to remember to talk to him about that stuff before it happens so as to avoid it all together. Hey, I certainly don't claim to be a perfect parent.
Kyle's drawings were shown as an example to the rest of the class today. Yep, that's my man!
Today, after I put Sloan down for a nap, Adriel and I ate lunch together. That kid can be such a bottomless pit sometimes! I let him play a game on the computer (a sesame street one) and I puttered around for a bit cleaning. Then I settled onto the couch to do my scripture reading. Sometimes when I sit on my couch, my body sinks into it perfectly and it envelops me. This was one of those times. So when I finished reading, I thought I'd just close my eyes for a few minutes. After a while Adriel found me as he always does. He grabbed a pillow, and without saying a word he climbed beside me and cuddled right into me. I pretended I was asleep. He had the hiccups. It wasn't long before his breathing slowed and I watched his long black eyelashes close against his cheeks. Children really are so precious when they sleep. I just lied there and cuddled him and cherished my beautiful four year old boy for a few minutes before getting up. I love moments like those. I don't really like for him to have naps because he doesn't settle at night, and because sometimes he's so much crankier when he wakes up, but sometimes it's hard to resist when your child wants to sleep. I didn't let him sleep long.

that is really cute. I would treasure that moment too. I'm glad Adriel is liking joy school, although it was a given, you're right. I think you're a wonderful Mom.
That is so cool that you can talk to him like that and he gets it. Eryn was like that. None of the rest were, though... didn't matter how much prep I did. Enjoy it. I'm glad he is loving joy school!
the wind reminds me of Lethbridge. I hate wind. never use to bother me till i moved here. I have so many little dents in my car from door cars flying open and hitting my car. Be carefully in parking lots :)
