precious moment

Today, Tuesday February 15th (a current post!!) I had a solid schedule for the afternoon set up which of course can be a challenge considering variables Kent and Leon. First commitment began at 11:45 so that means being on our way to the car by 11:35 which therefore means better be getting ready to go out the door by 11:15. : ) I've figured out I need a good 1/2 hour to do this. haha. I finished nursing Leon right on the dot 11:15 - he was falling asleep so I figured best to put him right into his carseat. Well he awoke while I was buckling him in and wasn't to happy to where he was. crying. I snapped Kents socks, shoes and jacket on him (beautiful day out there, around 50F or so) and then headed off to get myself ready and bags prepared and, and, and right? When I darted off Kent went right over to Leon. I could hear him tenderly say "Hi Leon! Hi Leon, don't be sad Leon" I glanced over their way and Kent was holding onto the carseat and rocking it back and forth. Then I watched as he went and laid his chest on Leons legs and continued rocking the carseat back and forth, then he said "Hi Leon, I...love....you!" That is on purpose I (pause) love (pause) you (pause) just the way his Grandma Spencer says it to him! It was so precious, tears welled up in my eyes. Then I walked over to Kent and peered into the carseat with him as he rightfully announced in a whisper "Leon is fast asleep" I gave Kent a kiss on the forehead and thanked him for rocking Leon and talking so kindly to him. Awe it was so SO sweet to hear him say the I love you that way - come on any way he would say it would be sweet - but to do it Grandmas way was touching. We placed a blanket over the carseat and gathered up our things and headed. When I turned the car on the clock said 11:45. Oh well. So goes the story of my life.

and he is wearing a 6 month outfit!! Wow! so long 0-3 month, farewell 3 month,

squeaking by with 3-6 month, welcome comfy 6 month clothes.}

We were off to go visiting teaching, then I had an ortho appointment at 1pm. (yes that is something that happened in October 2009 I got braces put on for the 2nd time in my life) So between the VT and the ortho appointment I took the children to a friend to tend them so that after the ortho appt I could go to work for an hour. Dr. says they are coming off soon!! Yay! I went and picked up some sushi and headed to the office. pulled up. turned off the car and then I was struck with the realization - no key! - I didn't have the set of keys with it on - Wade drives the Civic to work and we bought another car on Dec 30th an Accord. So apparently I don't think of everything - Wade was prompt to tell me to switch the key over when he walked in the door this evening. Done!
