Adventures Before 11am

This morning, we woke up to surprising weather for June - a rainy and overcast morning. Unfortunately, this weather cancelled out our plans to go to the park and play in the water and sand. Bummer. (Although, being homebodies today gave me the best excuse ever to stay in my yoga pants. But who are we kidding, it's summer! Why would I be in anything BUT yoga pants?!)

Little Monkey decided it would be a great idea to hand Daddy the end of the toilet paper roll while Daddy was in the kitchen. It really only took a few seconds of unsupervision to do this:

Just so you know, the kitchen is around the corner. Not like our home is huge or anything, but I was a little impressed by how far he carried it without the TP ripping!

In other news, if nothing but disaster comes of today, I've found my kairos moment for the day:

In a rare demonstration of calm initiative, my little one took a book and sat inside his Cars tent to look at the pictures. It only lasted a minute or two before he tore through the tent King Kong-style in an attempt to wrestle with me, but it was a sweet minute.

He's napping now, which is an even sweeter minute. He didn't sleep much last night. In fact, dear husband went into his room to cover him with his little blanket and realized that the Little Monkey was just standing in his crib staring at him! To quote dear husband, "It was a little creepy." Anyway, I'm hoping for a bit of a longer nap than usual today. He needs the rest and I think we do too. We'll see what the rest of the day holds for us!

To the Post-Nap Adventures!
