My baby boy,
My baby boy,
Wooh, tonight..as in this last hour and a half..has been exhausting. We had Kids Hurt Too Hawaii tonight. I’m so thankful for it, but it’s draining for both your siblings and I. Because of my phenomenal memory for the start times of different events, we got there early tonight. We got there are 4:45pm and I thought it started at 5:15pm. I made us sit in the car for fifteen minutes so we wouldn’t be too early. We walked in, said hi, and sat down to wait. It wasn’t until 5:15pm when I saw no other families that I wondered if I was wrong about the time. Lo and behold, as always I got the time wrong. It didn’t start until 5:45pm. At least we were early and not late, right? Your siblings spent a lot of time running around outside and by the time we got in the van to drive home it was 8pm. Lucas didn’t sleep last night, I took the boys to the pool for an hour and a half today, and then the long day created mass hysteria on the way home.
Lucas couldn’t stop crying and screaming about missing you, Elijah was yelling and crying about the windows being open, and Ellie was yelling at everyone for yelling. You know how when I say that I know you guys are over tired and I just try and speak to you in a calm voice because I know you’re not going to listen at all? The only thing that will calm you guys down at that point is sleep. Ellie just kept yelling at both boys even though I told her I was taking care of it. For a lack of better words, it was a sh*t show.
Elijah said he had a dream about you last night and you guys played Rudy. So after I asked you to check on your siblings Lucas had a dream the first day, Ellie had one the second day, and Elijah had one last night. I’d like to think you heard me and made sure to visit.
Lucas is wearing your Minecraft shirt to bed and sleeping with your fire flower. He’s really worried that you’re mad he’s sleeping with some of your stuffed animals, but I ensured him you wouldn’t have a problem with it.
I’m thankful it’s almost the weekend. I’m thankful it’s almost Fall Break. We probably won’t do anything I want to do, but I can be optimistic. I’m sorry this is everywhere, I swear my mind is done working tonight. There was just too much mental exhaustion all at once. I love you so much, my baby. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
