A pretty great day...

Today with Aya

First thing this morning, I had her all gussied up in a cute pony tail and outfit. Wanted to go to the aquarium and see Karl for coffee. It's been a long week inside.

When I realized we were snowed in, we tried on her snowsuit and walked around in the snow for a bit. Then Luna disappeared and gave me a heart attack so I trudged all over the neighborhood with Aya looking for her.

Luna showed up on the doorstep when I got back.

We built stuff and played with puzzles. Then Aya poured her peaches on Luna's back. So I gave them both a spit shine clean up. Same with the floor.

Aya looked like an angel when I cuddled her to sleep (instead of fighting her to go back to sleep if I had tried to put her down) and I held her for forty five minutes. ♥️♥️

When she got up we ate lunch together... Until she threw her eggs at Luna the dog and Charlie the cat and they engaged in gladiator war.

She unloaded the dryer into Charlie's water bowl while I loaded the washer. So I redid the first load.

She took big gulps from my water bottle and spit them all over a horrified sleeping cat. He was so shocked he got doused three times by the time he woke up enough to move.

When putting fresh diapers in the bath room, she hurried and shoved three in the toilet.

I took her by the shoulders and said 'NO. DO NOT PUT DIAPERS IN THE TOILET.'

She studied me seriously, then patted my face gently, leaned in, kissed me on the lips and said "Hi Mommy"

This is exactly my response to her when she has an angry moment.

So... I started laughing and hugged her...

I keep thinking that from her point of view this was a pretty great day.  Snow, a walk in more snow with Mom carrying her and helping yell 'Nnnooonnnnaaaaaa!!'. Then a nap cuddled by Mom, snacks and loads of play time.

Life is always about perspective. ♥️
