Sprained Ankle

Dear Angelo,

Today you and Daddy ditched work and the last day of school. 

We had breakfast with Grandma Yoya, and of course you had your favorite chocolate pancakes with a side other order of sausage and bacon.

Then the main event, Daddy surprised you with a trip to the movie theater.  I told you we were going just to play video games. After the games, I told you we were going to watch a caveman movie.

You were so bored you kept playing with the electric seat and you wouldn't sit still.  And after 20 minutes of trailers and you jumping up and down you saw the first transformer on the screen, and you would not be quiet! 😊

"What's he doing?"
"Why's he sad?"
"He is transforming!"

You just kept going and going.

You loved it, after the movie we called your mom and you said you had a dream that you were a baby and you would transform into Bumblebee.

Then we went to a trampoline park where we played tag, we jumped, we jousted, we played at the basketball trampoline, and the launch pad.  Daddy got a workout in.

With Daddy sweating profusely, we had Ice Cream at Baskin Robbins: Strawberry Cheesecake and Cookies & Cream.  You will have to guess who had what.  We finally made it to Yoya's so you could take your nap. 

Sadly, it seems like you did sprain your ankle today.

The day isn't over, and you are asleep, but so far, today is a great day.

My Best Friend

The both of you are at different stages, Eva you are one, Angelo you are four.  So Angelo, you want to play rough, and wrestle, and play cars, and although Eva wants to play with you, she is still a baby and sometimes gets hurt easily.

Eva, you can be a little witch.  Sometimes you will poke Angelo and if he screams or whines, you laugh and poke at him even more. 

Although it's a little funny, it does make my heart ache, because I want both of you to be close, and love each other, and be there for each other.

This Saturday we were all playing in the living room.  Swords, transformers, cars, and a little wrestling.  I head off to the kitchen to make breakfast and hear the both of you laughing.  I check the living room and both of you are laughing and playing, and Angelo says, "She's my best friend."

My heart ached, but this time in a good way.
