A great day

Today was a great day!  It started with Cason sleeping until 8:30 and me getting to shower and get completely ready before he woke up.  That's a big deal in my book. :)

After his morning nap we headed out to Costco and Market Street.  We had lots of fruits and veggies to buy, as it's time to make another month's worth of food for our big boy.  I absolutely love making his food for him.  Then, we came home and during Cason's second nap, I prepared for my first reading session with a super sweet first grade boy.  I was on cloud nine going through my teaching stuff and getting the supplies gathered for a reading assessment.  It's been over 8 months since I have had the opportunity to teach, so it was really special to do that today.  I'm excited and thankful that I will now get to fill the void of teaching reading.

Fast forward to dinnertime.  Cason had squash for the first time.  He gobbled it right up ... so he either really liked it or he was really hungry.  He hasn't made an "I don't like it" face with any food he's had.  I kinda thought squash might be the cause of a cute/disgusted face, but I was wrong.  Apparently he has no issues with a food that both mommy and daddy don't care for. 

AJ and I ate dinner after Cason was asleep and then AJ went to Kroger to pick up some ice cream while I cleaned up the kitchen and caught up with my brother on the phone.  We have started watching a new TV show called "The Following."  It's great!  Half way through it (DVRed of course), we decided to head to bed and finish it.  AJ of course had to sneak into Cason's room to give him a kiss.  I have never seen a man so in love with a tiny little baby.  It melts my heart!  Most nights I smile and relish in how sweet it is.  Other nights I cringe and hope to God that he doesn't wake Cason up.  Sometimes Cason is a light sleeper, so if Daddy's kisses wake little man up, Mommy gives in and goes in to feed him just to get him to fall back asleep.  I can't let him cry it out if we were the cause of him waking up. :)

I'm thankful for such a wonderful day and continuously feel very blessed to be staying at home with my sweet sweet boy!
