Time to Breathe

Who doesn’t love a 3 day weekend?!  Bank holidays, like today, give me opportunity to spend quality one-on-one time with my handsome boy.  Recently he’s been getting upset when I leave for work in the morning and begging me not to go.  It breaks my heart every day but I know going to work is what’s right for my family.  I’ve also been working waaay too much recently and it’s been stressing me out.  So today was not only important to him but to me as well.  It gave us me time to breathe.

We leisurely snuggled in bed until 7:30, ate breakfast together and did some spelling with the magnets on the fridge (he spelled out his first name on the fridge for the first time!)   Then we played superheros a little, got dressed and did some shopping before stopping at his favorite place (McDonalds) for a happy meal.  After lunch we went to the park to run & play (*he took a cat nap on the way).  We finished off our day by baking pretzels together when we got home.

In one word, the day was…..perfect.  It certainly makes a difference when you stop your crazy life and just breathe for once.  I wish every day could be like this.
