Yesterday we had a wonderful day at home with a THREE hour nap (Mommy & Elijah) and lots of cooking. I have to say... there are many neigh-sayers about co-sleeping, but snuggling with Elijah like that has produced some of our most precious memories. For example, when Elijah wakes up in the morning (which is almost always before me), and I pretend to keep sleeping when I feel him stir. He sits up and tackles me with a kiss... proceeding to hit me if I don't visibly open my eyes. And that morning smile... it's sooooo big! After Elijah wakes me up, we sometimes wake up Daddy (if it's the weekend). Then we let him sleep in and go make breakfast.
While Elijah and I slept yesterday, Daddy worked really hard on the outside of the house with Grandpa Voss. They worked on the side of the house, replacing wood. Soon it will be all painted and look nice as new! We took some pictures too, which maybe we'll add later. Daddy and Grandpa worked literally ALL day on the house while Mommy and Elijah made zucchini, bread and basil to freeze for the winter. We all (including Elijah) finished off our day of hard work with a pizza from Petrino's pizza in Holland. Delicious!
Today we slept in (no church today) and then went out to Sandy Pines for lunch with Nana and Papa Brouwer. We went for a golf cart ride (Elijah loved to drive with Grandpa), played with toys, went out for ice cream (Elijah loved it for the second time), played at the park and then had dinner with them too. Elijah went down the slide all by himself today (for the first time). He wasn't so sure about it while he was going down but opened his mouth very wide with excitement when he got to the bottom! Off to bed soon for the zoo tomorrow with Grandma and Grandpa Voss.
What a busy weekend for a little boy who wasn't feeling so well. He's all better!
