Sweet Sweet Sun {#SOL16 Day 2}

Day 2 of the writing challenge... Wooo Hooo! I'm super excited to continue to write with everyone for the Slice of Life writing challenge.



This morning while I was driving my son to daycare, I was so excited to see the sun shining very bright.  On Wednesday he goes to our old neighbor's house, just like he did when he was born. So this means, a much longer commute for him than the usual 2 minutes to Grandma and Grandpa's house! What I didn't realize, was that the sweet sweet sun that I loved, was going to hit my little guy right in the face as we drove.

Now, this normally could be easily fixed with a visor or a window shield, however my little guy is one in a million and loves LOVES LOVES to wear hats and sunglasses. He has been this way ever since he was able to figure out what both of them were. People are always in awe that he keeps both of them on. He even got an award at swimming lessons last summer for wearing his glasses for each lesson.

As soon as he saw my glasses go on, he wanted his and wasn't going to take no for an answer.  I forgot them.  Super sad day, with all of this sweet sun shining in on us.  So I tried to give him pairs that I had in the car for emergencies, but of course he couldn't get them on right.  Which led to not a very enjoyable ride to daycare this morning.

However an hour or so after I dropped him off, I got a text message saying that he was explaining & talking up a storm about our ride in.  "Mommy, me, glasses, bought.."  For a 2 year old, I was pretty impressed with his ability to share in almost a sentence that he got "new" sunglasses this morning. He thought I had bought them for him, even though they were mine... and he was wanting them after I left.

Oh this kid!!!

  3. My Ryan was the same way when he was a little guy -- always had to have his sunglasses! Such a fun memory revisited. Thank you, friend!

  4. Welcome to the slicing community! What a cutie! I remember my daughter not wanting anything in her hair. I would put a bow in and within seconds she would pull it out. Years later, she wore her hair in a ponytail all the time. Looking forward to reading more of your slices!
