Baba and I dropped NJ off at school and couldn't resist going over to the grand opening of our favorite bakery really close to us. We got free drinks, keychains, and mugs with our pastries. We didn't know it would be such an event, the mayor, counsel woman, and other city people were there for a ribbon cutting. We were surprised by that and so many people there.
We were supposed to meet at the bakery, but we decided on lunch instead. A belated birthday lunch with my best friend. It was really nice, I always love the time we can spend together.
When he gets home from school we always ask him to change and wash his hands. He was excited about a surprise I had for him, but first his hands need to be clean!
We got him a small tart which he quickly devoured.
He's working on some coloring. We ask him regularly now since it seems to be getting messier.
Baba made dinner for us tonight, some mac & cheese. He and NJ shared some sausage.
He was asking for juice all day, which makes me not want to even buy any anymore! We asked that he finish his dinner and milk nicely before having a little bit. Baba let him get it out and poor it himself.
After dinner we had what we call a family meeting and prayed together. It's a great way for NJ to express himself to us. And we can talk to him about random things or important things. He was talking about how much he loves school and how sad he was to miss his teacher. She's been sick the last couple of days. He was in near tears all day since picking him up, I couldn't tell why. I thought he was having a bad day or tired, but didn't expect to hear it was because he missed his teacher. He really can't wait to have her back. NJ also talked to us about fire drills and what to do if there was an earthquake. When we asked him if he had anything else he wanted to talk about he said, "Baba, there's just one thing and it's really important. When there's a fire, you have to line up and go out of the building. If there's a earthquake, you have to go under the desk and then you go outside." He went on to talk about the fire alarm and drills they've had. Interesting to find out what's on his mind.
