My headache is much better, yeah! This morning we played at home. I gave the kiddos a shower. Somehow the morning flew by and it was time to go to pre-k. I got to the school a little early to do some paperwork. I am so impressed by the pre-k program. The kids came running up to me in the office with little cups. They made orange juice. So cool. I think the kids brought me about 5 cups of juice. I ended up working the last half of pre-k for another mom. I love it and love watching the kiddos play. I had snack with the kiddos then went outside with them. When we got home Grandpa was here. He was coming to pick up Justin. Justin stayed alone at grandma/pa’s house tonight. It was so sad for me to say goodbye to him but he was excited to go. Him and Nikki got out the lego’s and played a little before he left. I am so proud of my big guy for going by himself. I know he will have a great time. Nikki and I played legos for a while. We were acting out the people. It was nice hanging out with just Nikki but I could only handle playing this for so long. I suggested we go outside. She decided to ride Justin’s bike since the training wheels are off. I held the bike and we were off. This is the first time she tried his bike with no training wheels. I was very proud of her for trying something new. She had a great time on the bike. Daddy held the bike and we all went for a walk. Nikki loved getting all the attention. Nikki wanted a burrito for dinner so we just walked to Del Taco/Carls Jr for dinner. She begged us for frozen yogurt so we went there too. It was fun to spoil her. She left a message for Justin saying goodnight and she loved him. So sweet. Nikki and I took Cindy the dog out for a walk. Nikki really understands the responsibility of what it takes to have a dog. You know most kids say that they will take care of a dog and never do…I believe Nikki would be so good to the dog. When we got home we just played in her room. She got out all her Pooh stuffed animals and we played Pooh. I read her two of her favorite books then we were out of time, it was time for bed. Grandma/pa and Justin called. It was so cute listening to Nikki and Justin talk on the phone. I think this may be the first time talking on the phone. I loved hearing Justin tell me about his night but he did sound tired. My parents took him to Dana Point to see the tall ships. I hope he remembers this always. And Justin if you are reading this some day remember I miss you and love you more! Nikki gave me extra hugs for Justin tonight. I am the luckiest mommy in the world to have two terrific kids!
