Nibbles & Bits

Small bites from a life revolving around my sweet family, a love of cooking, and all things good.

Mondays I indulge my fantasies and pretend I’m a stay at home mom (who happens to sneak in conference calls and PowerPoint during nap time). We almost always start the day very slowly, staying in our pajamas and eating dried mango on the sofa. Sometimes we go on adventures, sometimes we stay in our backyard, and I’m always struck by Ryan’s growth. Something about the quiet, one on one time allows me to see just how much he changes every week. This week I noticed he said “remember” a few times, and as far as I can recall for the first time. He really understands concepts, not just actions and things. Another thing, he is BIG on making up songs, often while strumming his guitar, and usually as we snuggle before bedtime. He suggests a topic and we come up with lyrics which tend to make him giggle. I love our weekends as a family of three and wish we could do that every day, but there’s something so special and intimate about our Mondays. Update: Put a bird on it. I just noticed the bird pajamas against the bird toss pillow.
