Every weekend we spend together is one I want to remember forever. This weekend, like so many of our weekends, was filled with our favorite things.

On Friday, I surprised you by picking you up from school! It’s usually Grandpa or Grandma who picks you up, so when you heard me say your name and you turned around to see me standing there, a huge smile spread across your face and you jumped into my arms for a tight, long hug. It was one of the 10 best moments of my life. Then, we went to Blackmarket Bakery for a cookie. You enjoyed your chocolate chip cookie and playing with the magnetic board. The weather was beautiful. It was such a sweet, little afternoon together.

On Saturday morning, Daddy and I brought you to Trolley Barn Park for some fun on the swings. We didn’t stay long because you and I had a birthday party to get to! It was Elowyn’s fourth birthday and you had so much fun chasing balloons, coloring with crayons, and watching the ducks and turtles in the pond. Meanwhile, Daddy surprised Matzah with a visit to her favorite place, Fiesta Island. On Saturday night, unfortunately, you had an accident. We were on the patio and I was trying to assemble your new tricycle when I heard a thud. I think you must have fallen face first into our wood gate leaning over to pick up a rock. Oh, my poor baby! You cried so hard and your nose looked red and swollen. I was so worried it was broken. You began to settle down after I got you a bottle and you cried so hard, you fell asleep for another nap. I iced your nose while you slept and I think it helped. I felt so badly you hurt yourself, but I loved cradling you while you slept and comforting sweet, sad, little you.

On Sunday morning, we met Grandpa for breakfast back at Blackmarket Bakery. Grandpa got his favorite almond croissant, Daddy ordered you a blueberry muffin, and Daddy and I split a delicious egg and hash brown sandwich on a croissant. In the afternoon, you and I went to Tecolote Shores, where you had fun on the swings, running around, and riding around on your new big boy tricycle! You were being silly when we got home, putting your balloon in your mouth knowing I had asked you not to and collapsing into giggles! You helped me make orange chocolate chip muffins for your snack this week.

I love you so, so, so much, my baby.
