Dear Quiet

I feel much better after a full night’s sleep. And this coffee ain’t too bad, either. I drink it with lots of milk for that combination of fat and protein. I NEED that first thing in the morning. Something about it is so grounding.

As promised, today is a day of playtime with my kiddo. We have tons of activities we could do, but really, what he loves most is making up games and dramas while I follow whatever he’s doing. I let him lead play, and his imagination grows.

He’s the best little guy, always happy to see me, always happy to play. Whenever I need a break, I’ll set him up with some Play Doh and take a breather on the couch.

Here’s a tip if you’re a parent: do an unusual Play Doh setup if they’re getting tired of it. My kid is bored of the Play Doh set up on his table with Play Doh cutting tools and shapes.

I’ve been putting his Play Doh in a big container with construction toys instead, and it’s like he’s discovered a brand new way of seeing Play Doh! It’s awesome. Y’all should try it.

I should go. It’s time to play!
