It was a great day ( I know I may be talking way too early we still have dinner, potty time, bedtime routine... which can be tough). But up until this point so far- woo hoo! I feel a little victorious actually. Ty and I made a delicious GF/DF chocolate cake with frosting- in the theme of sharks and underwater creatures. We baked the cake together, we made frosting together. We giggled together. We then thought it would be fun to watch a show together and eat popcorn from the same bowl. We first started with a movie- but he quickly asked if we could watch an animal show. Of course!!!! So we watched a Nat Geo Wild show (for those that don't know this station- it's National Geographic Wild channel- awesome for animal lovers). He wanted to watch Ocean's deadliest sea creatures. Sounds gory but it's not. We learned about the Bull shark, a cousin to the great white. We learned about the Baracuda, the Leopard Seal, a Torpedo Ray which uses electricity to stun it's prey. So interesting- we sat next to each other. Eating popcorn. And then all of the sudden, he put his hand on my lap. He just left it there on top of my thigh, as if just making sure I'm still there. He doesn't do that. Ever- I didn't say anything, just wanted to enjoy the moment with him. It was in deed a moment. We had been having such a great day- So after a while, we decided to pause the show and go back to our cake. It was time to frost it. He wanted me to show him how I use my bakery tools to frost the cake fancy- again woo hoo! Sure thing.... He put the frosting int he bags and squeezed the frosting out- We had made ocean blue and white frosting. He then decorated the cake with fish and shark toys. It was so cute.
After our feast of eating our yummy cake, my new lycra 4yd of just fabric arrived- wow this is going to be fun. I tied it up to our ceiling hook- and there is so much stretchy fabric. I got right in- I like these things too. If you've never been in a hammock like lycra thing- try it- it's so calming. Anyway- of course he wanted to try it- sure okay!!! (hint hint)- and then we made a game of it- he was in a space capsule- and I was inverting his body. Feet in the air, head down while he's curled up in fetal position. Yes, this is perfect. So good for him. This is going so great- yeah for me!!! Then we get even more creative (okay he does). He wants to make space helmets for him and Oliver. So this takes some time for him to put together.
Notice the pipe cleaner microphone on the helmets. Then it was time to blast off- he made a satellite and he was going to blast up into space to repair the satellite- so he wanted me to hang it from the ceiling to. He wanted to pretend he was a real astronaut and floating in space and he had the tricky task of fixing the satellite while floating! He is on a roll! Love it.... love him.... love days like this. Love these many moments we've had today. In fact, about five minutes ago he woke up after crashing at my feet while Sarah read to me and said, "mom, I've had a good day today". Yes you have my little guy- yes you have. And so have I!
