The Weekend of Reels

Good morning, good morning!

This is the weekend of reels. I’m ALWAYS late to the party when it comes to the new apps and the new features and the new things. I’m pretty sure it’ll take me 2 more years to finally download TikTok to my phone.

But, I knew I’ve been wanting to make some reels – if only to keep for myself – because I have SO many little clips of Ishu. This weekend, I made one of him on Friday when we went out and played in the puddles. I also made one yesterday after our trip to the Children’s Museum.

They’re more for me than for anyone else.

I just want to remember all these little things we did together during this year of our life!

It’s also nice to share with our family and friends so they can get a glimpse into Ishu’s adventures without having to send SO many videos.

Other than those two adventures, we hung out at home and took it easy.

Ankur had to work overnight on Friday and, as is usual, sleep was a struggle for all of us. I think Ishu doesn’t sleep as well when Ankur is gone because it, obviously, feels different when his papa isn’t on the other side of him.

(Made up for it yesterday though, by taking a 4-hour nap).

I spotted this sign at the Children’s Museum yesterday and I snorted to myself as I snapped the picture.

I mean, Ishu moves ALL DAY LONG. We give him so many opportunities to use those muscles and get in heavy work. And he STILLLLLLLL wakes up at night.

I wanted to write a disclaimer on that sign. Something like, “Your toddler can run a marathon and STILL have frequent wake-ups. Nothing’s wrong with you. GET SLEEP HOWEVER YOU CAN.”

Ha.

But I figured it wouldn’t be a good idea to model property damage by graffiti-ing on the sign, y’know?

Now I’m sitting here typing up this post while Ishu is watching read alouds. That was another thing I discovered this weekend. How to screencast YouTube onto the TV and I’ve queued up a few of his favorite books.

(Like I said, I’m late to the party at a LOT of things. But I get there eventually!).

It’s a nice change from Curious George. And we’re without Auntie Bella this week so I think we’ll be doing this a few times this week.

Hope you all had a nice weekend!
