here's a taro tale to wrap up the end of the day...

this morning he woke up and made gentle noises in his room til I heard on the monitor and got him.

I laid back down in bed and got husband up. he went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. taro whined at my bedside and signed food. I told him that Papa will get him breakfast soon. he wandered off and I closed my eyes to rest more.

moments later, I hear a banging. it's getting closer. taro has gotten a hold of something. I'm trying to use my mom ears to suss it out what he could possibly have access to that makes a hollow banging sound like that?

When the sound stopped right in front of me, I open my eyes and see that he's brought his snack box that we packed for our 2 day trip. It's a plastic storage container about as big as half of him with goldfish, crackers, yogurt bites and an orange inside.

He walked and dragged this box all the way from the kitchen to the bedroom so I could open it and feed him, bedside. Of course I obliged.

I really didn't expect that he'd do that. It was a surprise, in a good way 😀
