Good morning from the living room where the baby and I are out here with the lights OFF.

Because, hello sun!

This morning, the novelty of Uno-before-school wore off.

Ishu fell asleep late. Which meant he was not fully awake and not wanting to move through the motions.

Which meant he was resistant about all the things.

Some days are gonna be like this.

And that’s OK.

He crawled into my lap and sat there for a little bit. Twice.

He complained that he was too sick for school, but not too sick for the park. Three times.

And then when he was ready and had eaten his breakfast, he was like, “Oh yeah. I’ll ride my scooter to school, thank you very much.”

Ha.

We compromised and I’m going to pick him up early for some outdoor time (assuming the wind isn’t too bad).

Every day after school this week, we’ve gone to a different place to eat a snack and play Uno. And I think I’m enjoying it more than Ishu, haha.

I close the computer, take my work hat off, breathe, put my mom hat on, and get to be completely present with him in those 2 hours after pick-up.

It’s been so nice and needed.

I’m already looking forward to our time together this afternoon.

And with that, I should probably go get the day started.

Have a good one!
