I enjoy your company each and every day. There hasn't been a day that I dread starting with you two...I can honestly and thankfully say that. The routine days, the nothing days, the sick days, the exciting days, even the everything goes wrong days...blessed, so blessed.
Today we got ready for a busy Tuesday...drop off at preschool, workout, coach, grocery store, shower, pick up from preschool, play outside, prep dinner, gymnastics, dinner, baths, playtime, books, bedtime. On the way out the door, Livi got sick. "Seriously!? We just got well!" My mind started reeling with the days plans and what to do. I decided to just stop, cancel everything and take a day with Livi. I had my CrossFit class covered by a fellow coach. Because you seemed like your normal self, no fever, happy...I decided to take a chance and still take Charlie to school. You and I got back in the car with no other episodes and started to head home. You started asking, "Char char? Char char?" You must have asked me this a total of 5 times in our 4 hours together. Thankfully you never got sick again and you snacked on some crackers before we laid down in my bed together. We had never taken a nap together so I was interested to see how it went. I was pleased when you laid your sweet head down next to mine, got really still, and your heavy eyes started to close. I started to think of the workout I was missing, the ladies in my class who would wonder where I was. I pushed those thoughts away, watched you fall asleep, and even caught a nap myself. After picking up Charlie from school, we went on a walk in the neighborhood and even made it to gymnastics since Livi felt fine the rest of the day. Charlie, you absolutely love wearing your leotards, spinning, running, bouncing. You loved the one you wore this day especially, because of its attached skirt. You are such a learner in everything you do. Very thoughtful, compliant, and brave. Your teachers and coaches enjoy your teachability.
