The past several months have been rough. There have have been days where it just felt they bled into each other.
For the past week or so, it’s taken my son some extra time and TLC to fall asleep. I suspect it’s because he’s been picking up on my change of mood. We’ve been hit with another blow in the ongoing saga with regards to our future at our current home. It’s resulted in my mental health taking another hit and I believe my son has picked up on it. He’s always been intuitive with reading me, and the past week has been no exception. He may not have the words to ask, but he knows.
I’ve been trying to have him spend more time outside as a result, since he loves being outside and it helps to reset both of us. Since the temperature outside the past few days hasn’t allowed us to spend too much time outside (it’s well below freezing), we’ve been doing some science experiments involving water balloons and seeing what happens when left outside for a prolonged period of time. So far, we’ve made quite a few ice globes (some of which we used food coloring with and it created some pretty cool ice globes).
