Selah June and I escaped from the house to go across the street to Target.  We needed some basic supplies, and we needed some fresh air.  While we were putzing around, we ran smack dab into Grandpa and Grammy.  They had come over to Target to pick up their drugs.

Grammy and SJ needed to look at the clothes! so Grandpa went to wait on drugs while we did a little girl shopping.

She spotted Paw Patrol from a mile away.  Luckily this little doozy was on sale.

Meanwhile, when Mommy was busy picking up something boring, Grammy helped SJ pick out a Paw Patrol coloring book and some crayons.

And then we ended up looking at baby boots.  Her style of shopping is to just take every option presented and throw it in the basket.  That’s my girl!!  We eventually settled on the pink ones.  I have no idea how we managed to get the other ones back on the shelf.

She wanted to go right home and get into her new colors and coloring book… with her boots on…. and put all the stickers on her shirt.

I realized while we were out just how puny I really felt.  It was good to be back home and in my jammies. This whole weekend of federal holiday and stomach bug has opened my eyes to how rarely we just are at home doing nothing.  I honestly think I haven’t just sat on my butt and done nothing in over 10 years. It’s really awesome!  And there’s good stuff that happens to your family dynamic when you just settle into being together and resting.

Selah June really started wanting to snuggle with me.  That’s been very much a Daddy thing for quite some time.  I have known that they go through phases, but it hasn’t made it any easier.  Now that he’s unable to really get around or walk with her, she’s started relying on me a lot more.  I think it’s affected her an it.  So when I’ve rubbed her feet of run my fingers through her hair as of late, she’s said sweet little words like, “I love you so much…”[MAKE MY HEART MELT INTO A PUDDLE]
