This past week has been HARD for me.
Only because this really cute kid is really shaking up his bedtime routine and this old Momma is not the party animal she once was way back when she was younger. Oh, alright. I was NEVER a party animal. The truth is out.
This morning when I woke up, I felt like I had a hangover. This coming from a girl who has never even really had a hangover because I don’t like alcohol. I had a Joseph hangover. Joseph was up until 1:15 last night. Before I go shooting myself in the foot condemning myself and my poor parenting skills. I have to remind myself that he fell asleep and I could not get him back up at 6:30 last night and then woke up 45 minutes later ready to P-A-R-T-Y!!!!
So, change of plans. We are going to do whatever we can to wear him out today and, well, I had lots of help!
We started out with a field trip to a local John Deere dealership and he was in heaven. Tractors are his love language. Here are a bazillion pictures to prove it.
I am not sure who was more excited though, Matthew made a beeline to this tractor as soon as I parked the van. Boys are fun!!!
So after we rode tractors in the 96 degree heat, we left. We went around the corner and he saw the back yard with the combines and big machines. He loved it. I kept driving, not thinking anything more of it and he burst into inconsolable tears because there were no more tractors. In all of his whole life, I have never seen him cry like that, it was tragic to him. we made the block and he felt better. It was really sad. We convinced him to come on and swim. Then he got a surprised visit from Momo & Pawpaw so he was thrilled.
He passed out at nine, praise God!
I hope it worked and you got more sleep!
