Its not often I have a day where NOTHING is planned and we just roll with whatever may come our way (Ryder and I go stir crazy), but yesterday was just that and it felt great. I discovered Vernon cut a new top tooth in the morning, explaining away his off mood the last few days. I had a bit of mom guilt for ignoring his needy behavior so he spent a good part of the day in the carrier for some extra snuggles. We also finally took the leap and put Ryder in undies!! So far so good....but stay tuned because I know it most likely will continue to be a slow up hill climb. Popsicle were made (can of coconut milk, frozen blueberries and a bit of honey, so easy and good for them). Took a trip to the local park. Vernon had a nice afternoon nap which I'm sure he appreciated because usually he naps on the go resulting in some serious overtired struggles at bedtime. And to top the day off, Ryder and I fell asleep on the couch...amazing!

I am someone who thrives when busy, but yesterday was just so wonderful it taught me that taking a step back and slowing down is good for me too. Taking the time to enjoy the moment and really focus in on the boys was much needed and I think I will have to dedicate one day a week to doing this!
