Doug is finally home from his business trip! Now there is at least a 1:1 ratio of parent to crazy toddler 
This morning, I heard Jaden ask Doug if he was going to come to his Music and Muffins concert. (Mind you I asked Doug WEEKS ago if he thought he would be able to go …) Doug asked Jaden what it was all about. Jaden said “Well we are singing … so there is music. And then when we are done, we have muffins … and there is milk. You love milk Dad. Want to come?” What a charmer! And it worked too! Doug called into the office this morning to let them know he was going to take a half day of vacation.
Jaden was super excited to see us all there. Here is a video of his performance:
So Jaden might not have a career in singing & hand movements. Did you notice the striped tie with his plaid shirt? That was ALL him this morning The bus driver even commented this afternoon that he is his best dressed student. Oh Jaden …
It was a great day today! Not only was Jaden the proudest kid at school because his dad was there … but we also had our first family bonfire in the fire pit Doug gave me for Mother’s Day last year.
It’s the little things these days that reminds me to keep fighting. Not going to lie, I’ve started to think and worry about May 26, 2012 already. It was nice to have a pleasant and calm day to offset the worry.
Love, Mel
