The words aren’t flowing today. I’ve sat here for the past 10 minutes staring at this screen. I’m just having one of those days. I spent the first half of the day with Makena at her first dentist appointment. As wonderful as the dentist was, nothing could have prepared me for the horrific cries of a three year old. Come on now, it was only a teeth cleaning. She kept telling me “mommy, I’m a little bit shy.” She must have shy confused with scared to death. I’m sure she was petrified because of the finger incident. That had to have traumatized her. After 30 minutes of persuasion, she finally let me hold her in the chair while the dentist cleaned her teeth. I wonder if I can bring someone along to my next dental appointment to hold me.
The remainder of the day was spent in the closets. More closet cleaning out. But since that’s not very exciting I will show you some pictures from this weekends trip to San Antonio. Keegan came down with a double ear infection on Thursday so that really put a halt to the planned activities, which ended up being a wonderful thing… just to slow down. It’s hard for me. A continual work in progress. To just be. I would love some advice in this field because I struggle immensely with slowing down.
We spent Saturday afternoon at the river. Huge cypress trees line the river where the occasional tuber passes by. Tubing is a HUGE thing in the Hill Country. You rent a tube for yourself and one for your cooler. Sometimes, you might even rent a tube for your dog if you bring him along. While we didn’t tube, for the safety of everyone involved, we did slow down and relax by the river.
While the older kids explored.
The little one sat in his own pool. And I was able to just sit. And be. I need more of that.
