Wild couple of days. I'll be interested to see how this project of short posts turns out because I seem to only write when I am pretty tired and the end of the day. We're in San Diego, we went to lego land yesterday with a grandpa, two grandmas and three nephews and nieces. it was pretty exhausting with Imogen and Quinn being so little, but it was so much fun. the big kids had an absolute blast. Quinn skipped his nap and partied so hard that he peed his pants 3 times in two hours by the end of the day. Theme parks are a whole new level of parenting but man, I'm here for it. The next morning, Quinn woke up at 430 puking in his crib but I didn't want to take him out of the room and wake up the kids sleeping in the living room. So I brought him into my bed and we watched Cars 2 on my phone. he would be fine and then start wrenching. He puked all over me and my bed. somehow we had a pretty good time throughout the whole ordeal. My Aunt Teri also came up today and was able to meet Quinn and Imogen for the first time. I haven't seen her in years and it felt so nice to see her again. She worked very hard to win Quinn over, but he liked hanging out with her at the end of her visit.
Let's see how this goes. Here is my attempt to start posting a few times a week about one nice moment I had throughout the day. The past few days have been hard for many reasons, but tonight, I went to the bathroom before heading into Quinn's room for bedtime stories. Mom has been taking part in reading our nightly books lately and that has been an increasingly sweet experience. Tonight, she started story time and I walked in to see a very tired boy in his milk and cookies pajamas, sitting on his mom's lap and holding his chocolate ice cream cone toy that has gone everywhere with him for the past few days. this was a heart meltingly sweet moment that took me out of my anxieties and worries and let me just enjoy kindness and love that this family is made of. also, who knew teaching a boy how pee standing up took so much technique. Mochi's butt in this picture is what makes it for me.
