Serenades and Hugs

Had a wonderful drive to Kelly's this morning. Declan now asks me in the car if I'd like to hear a song. He isn't singing real songs but rather made up songs and the topics vary. This morning it was about Spiderman. He tries to keep a consistent melody and to my surprise he actually sounds musical at the end. I just love my Declan serenades.

I was lucky enough to pick Declan up from Kelly's today and when we got home I let him pick: Playdoh or Splash Pad. He chose Playdoh.  I thought he might since he's been asking about Playdoh quite a bit lately and questioning why we don't let him play with it. We played for an hour. His favourite parts are cutting and making Playdoh spaghetti.

I was pretty tired and went to bed at 9pm. As usual however I did stop in to check on Declan. He woke up and was happy to see me. He asked for a hug and kiss. Then he told me he had been dreaming. He was in a different house and he was playing with Lego and he dropped some small pieces on the carpet and was having trouble finding them. So it was time for me to leave him and head to bed so he demanded another hug and kiss. His hug was great, he really squeezed and it was probably the best hug he's ever given me. I think I'll sleep great tonight.
