Stop and Smell the People

S a t u r d a y !

I’ll keep this brief. I have always loved Saturdays. Who doesn’t? But lately, Saturday has stepped it up a few hundred notches and become my nirvana.

After missing my baby boy all week at work, Saturday is Redding boys time. I like to give Anna a break. So we boys will play all day. We’ll start right when we wake up sharing a Cheerios breakfast. Then we’ll hit the ground crawling. Both of us down on all fours following each other around the house. He squeals when we crawl together! It’s a hoot.

When the crawling tires me out we’ll settle in on some toys… and possibly take a mid-morning nap. After that it’s lunch and then an outdoor adventure.

Strolling if the ground is too wet. If we’re dry we’ll play on the lawn. We have a lot to explore. We moved here in November and got zero time to discover the front and back yards. We’ll be covered in dirt by the afternoon.

There’s a playground a block away so we’ll hit that too. We might make a trip to the hardware store. Another nap around 2:30 PM.

Snack time! And then chillicious time watching a little college basketball on the tube.

Anna and her Redding boys will end up in the kitchen together making dinner. Crowley plays with a bunch of cool kitchen cooking tools like a flour sifter and a rubber measuring cup while Anna and I cook. We’ll eat together and then head upstairs for bath time.

Wind down with a pop-up book and cuddles and then Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Saturdays.

I can’t get enough… MR
