Avery stopped by the house today. I like to think it was to visit me, specifically, but she had to pick up her teapot. She is so excited for her adult purchase.
Prior to her arriving, she sent me the most “Alex P. Keaton” text.
She was so excited that she was early voting. She was describing the people around her in line. All of them were older than her. She said they were having the most “old people” conversations. For example “someone was talking about their property taxes.”
At certain ages you drift into the lane of discussing boring adult things with strangers. She is not there yet. It was a good moment to laugh about.
She went with me to pick up groceries. We chatted away in the car about different things. She doesn’t like the smell of her room mates used coffee grounds.
At one point, I mentioned that I wished I had brought a beverage. Without missing a beat, she says “want me to spit in your mouth for you?”
“NO!…..Avery Reese! Yuck!” She laughed and laughed. She likes to say things and then watch my reaction. I have no idea where she gets it from.
Ethan went to some sort of car event. He was gone most of the morning.
Paul and I went to the inlaws for dinner. It was a nice evening. We stayed a little late. I used the car ride too and from to do my work so I can get done an hour and a half earlier in the week somewhere. I love that!
When we arrived home, I went to say goodnight to Ethan. He must have fallen asleep before he got himself ready for bed. He was propped up in bed, eyes closed, with his glasses still on. His room light was on. His TV was on and his game was on the screen.
The best part was that Jiminy was tucked in right beside him. Jiminy was awake but would not move. He was perfectly content right next to his buddy, Ethan.
Even with my kids being adults, there is just something calming about watching them sleep. I wasn’t being creepy about it, just was peaking in.
