Quality Time

These days, everyone is over worked, extremely busy and have schedules that are jammed packed nearly everyday, all day.

Sometimes its just nice to stop, take a breather and enjoy one another.
          Have no agenda, no goals
                    ... just simply BE TOGETHER and spend good QUALITY TIME with one another!!

Jocie has been sick since Friday. I'm not sure if its simply a rough case of allergies, or down right sick seeing how she has spent a few days in a new environment (ie preschool) and lots of those kids seem to cough, sniffle and sneeze a lot. I'm sure my facial expressions when I saw them spreading their germies so freely was pretty apparent haha!

I can't help it, I've never been a good poker player.

Anyways, with Jocie having a hard time breathing, producing more snot than any little human should and hacking a lung; we've been taking it pretty easy this weekend.

The weather around here has been off and on sunny and warm, to cool and cloudy ... it changes within minutes so we all stay surprised.

We decided to go outside to get some fresh air and continue my challenge of getting Jocie over some of her sensory issues. Among the things she doesn't like, grass is one of them. I sat her down in it, and she actually didn't cry. Her face showed obvious disapproval, but she didn't cry or scream.

{Maybe if our grass were more luscious & less patchy, she wouldn't mind so much? haha}

She didn't want to sit in the grass long, so I was prepared with a blanket.

It was a perfect afternoon to slow down, lay on a blanket, enjoy the cool spring breeze, sing songs, talk and have some quality time together.

          We've been in our PJ's ALL.DAY.LONG!! :)

After about 30 minutes or so, Jocelyn really started to quiet down and seemed so sleepy. Problem with not being able to breath? You also don't sleep well which she already has a problem with.

I scooped her up, snuggled her close and off to sleep she drifted. It was almost instantaneous.

Even warrior princess' need their beauty sleep!
