A Day in the Life

Sometimes you act all big and tough. But sometimes you are a sweet, scared little guy.

I had to leave for work this morning. Usually I leave before 6 so I don’t wake you up since you’ve been sneaking in to my room and sleeping on the floor.

But today, just as I was stepping out of the door at 530, you came running down the hall crying. Back to your spot in the floor I take you.

So now here I lay for a while till you fall asleep again.

Love you little guy.

Dada, why can’t squirrel talk?
Cuz he can’t
Dada can I pie pie him?
No, you can’t catch him
Dada, why squirrel want to be outside?
Cuz that’s where he lives…

Every night, you fall asleep on the hardwood in the hallway. You start out on the floor in your room where we read to you. Then you sneak into the hallway and fall asleep there.

Then sometime in the night you sneak into our room and lay on the floor next to me. You bring your blanket and pillow.

Funny little boy. Love you.

Nolan, why do you hate sleeping in your room? I remember when I was 5, I would sneak into grandma and ye ye’s room and sleep at the foot of their bed. Now you do the same thing.

You won’t even sleep in your room. You fall asleep in the hallway and I have to pick you up and put you in your room. Then sometime after midnight you wake up and sneak in.

I love that you find comfort and security in sleeping in the same room.  Love you little man.

N- Dada, where you get that owey?
M- From crashing.
N- Next time be careful ok dada.

Nolan,

Today I spent time again with just you while your sister was at her week long dance intensive.  I have to say you are my little buddy.  The other day we rode our bikes to Westgate, then on the trail on the other side of Lawerence.  You were so jacked about riding on the dirt.  I can’t tell you how that made my heart feel all warm to see you having so much fun.

And again today we went to the back parking lot of Trader Joes and rode up and down the little hill.  You were so into going down hill fast.  I was so afraid you were going to wreck, but you didn’t.

I love you my little guy.
