This morning started with my boy waking at 6:30am after sleeping through the night. This, my friends, was a gift. We hung out at home for a while before heading to his haircut. I love my boy's hair when it's long, but I love it more right after it is cut. He looks like such a little boy!
We had an hour to kill before music class, so we went to Cup and Saucer for breakfast, just the two of us. I don't know if we have ever gone to a restaurant to eat just the two of us. It was extra fun because he was really well behaved and I started the day out with a mimosa.
Music class was awesome today. Trey was really in to the activities and even got down on the floor during dance time to dance himself rather than making me hold him the whole time. He was excited about playing the bells and the drums, and he was thrilled that we got to play with balls today. He was running around being silly and happy, laughing the whole time. Parents around us were smiling goofily at me because he isn't usually this free-spirited during class.
After class, we drove out to Julie's house because she was going to babysit him for a few hours so we could work on the house. We moved all of the furniture from the dining room into the living room so our realtor could move her staging furniture into the dining room and Randy and our realtor's helper could move our furniture out and over to Kris's house. Needless to say, that process is still in process and our house is in total disarray. It is supposed to be finished tomorrow, and our realtor assures me that the house will be ready to go on the market on Monday night. WHAT????
Empty dining room
Full living room...
It doesn't look much better now.
I have been saying that I don't know what's going to make me more nervous on Tuesday - waiting to see what happens with our house or watching the election results.
I'm really excited about this move and think it is a great decision for us, but it is going to be sad to leave our home in NE. This is Randy's and my first house together, it is where we lived when we got married, and it is where we have been raising Trey since his birth. There are still times when I'm in my bedroom and the dimly lit lamp on the dresser is on that I am reminded of those first nights with Trey lying next to me in bed or next to the bed in his pack and play. I will always remember watching Trey's first steps across our living room and down our hallway. I will have so many memories of our first two and a half years together in this house, and I will hold them fondly forever.
I am also nervous about how all of this change is going to affect Trey. I know that kids are resilient and they like new things too, blah blah blah, but I feel like we are being mean by taking away everything that is comfortable and known to him. He has no idea that when we leave this house we are never coming back, and that makes me sad. I also feel REALLY bad about taking him out of his daycare. His daycare providers are like family to him, and I have lost a lot of sleep and had plenty of stomachaches worrying about this change. Only time will tell what kind of impact these changes will have on my sweet boy.

who knew we had a deflated yoga ball and a sit and spin in his closet?

Lots of big changes ahead but I have confidence that you will handle them in stride! And if not, call me and we can get cocktails after work! :)
