Daddy-less

Steve had to work a tournament this weekend, so Wm and I were left to our own devices. And we knocked it out!! We had a lot on our plate - and we rocked it. The weekend got off to a fun start for Wm - he had a friend over for pizza and they walked up to the playground to play Friday evening. Then he walked his friend home!! Big guy.

First thing Saturday, we woke up and Wm helped me go grocery shopping. He was in charge of the list and did an awesome job. When we got home and I started the laundry, Wm yelled, "What are you doing walking down the stairs carrying the basket! You could fall again! I'm worried about you. Here...I will carry it." And the little gentleman carried all the laundry up and down the steps for me! <3

Then, we went to Wm's soccer game. He did great! He said he "almost had an assist if [NAME REDACTED] hadn't choked." Ha!

When we got home, I decided to make Steve bulk breakfast sandwiches I could freeze and then he could just heat up quickly (since he never eats a good breakfast!) Wm said he was going to help. Then, when I was like, "OK - first, we need to peel 10 eggs!" He goes, "I changed my mind." So then he disappeared into his room. He has been learning Java on Khan Academy, so he went up to work on that. Win-win.

Done! 10 bacon, egg, and cheese sammies

After that, Wm and I were exhausted. He finished up the second Harry Potter book while I watched a bit of Netflix while we awaited Steve's return. When Steve got home, he said his stomach was all upset. Apparently, he had slept horribly and had a really busy day and was just DONE. So he went to bed early. When I went up, he was doing that weird puff snore thing he does. Usually, I kick him and he stops. But because he was so tired, I took pity on him. So I was up for an hour listening to it. During that time, I decided to record a bit of it so others can hear the weirdness:

After a really good sleep, Steve felt better this morning and headed off to work again. Wm and I went to church (for the first time in a long time!) Sadly, Wm said he "hated" it. They are doing construction on the church and the "children's chapel" in an alternate location was a major fail for Wm. He said it was "2 thumbs WAY down." He is willing to go back and try it again, but said if it is not better, he's not going back. I guess I will be flying solo then!!

We had just enough time to get home, eat lunch, get Wm changed, and head to his swimming lesson. Wm LOVED it. He said over and over how much fun he had. He had a BIG smile on his face the entire time. And he made SO SO SO much progress! Ladies and Gentlemen...HE WENT UNDER WATER.

He also discovered he has a deep love of the kick board. Look at the smile on his face:

He has figured out how to float on his back! He also is putting everything together and actually did a bit of assisted swimming!!



I am SO PROUD of him!!!

Mimi and Guy are coming over for dinner tonight, so the fun isn't even over!
