*Gavin was scared today. Correction – he was terrified. He was sure a tornado was going to come and kill us. And was in tears over it. So he came to his mommy to talk. And hug. And snuggle. I’m grateful that he will do that. That he trusts me enough to tell me what is on his mind. That I can say the right things to make the fears go away. I know it won’t be like that forever. As he grows the issues will get more complicated and the answers will be harder to find. But I hope he always feels safe coming and telling me what is going on in his world....
*I defeated the pod racers on Lego Star Wars. It may not be a big thing, but Gavin came up, gave me a huge hug, and declared I was his hero and the best mommy ever. Okay, so its just a video game. But I love the feeling of making him happy. And being told that.
*With no activities, we are home before 4:30 after school. Which means I have time to throw a casserole in the oven, and actually cook a yummy supper, knowing there will be leftovers for the rush that returns tomorrow. Some days, the pace seems to be slowing down. I can do the laundry while playing Disney Infinity or Lego. Some days I actually feel I have it together. I’m thankful for that.
*Cinnamon buns. Ooey-gooey ones from Safeway with cream cheese icing. My waistline isn’t thankful for them. But the rest of me is ;)
