Early Take-off for Treats

I almost never get to pick up Sienna on a regular day during the week. So I took off from work an hour early today just to do that. It came as such a surprise for her. I took her to get a treat at a convenience store. She picked a candy spray.

It was windy and cold. But she neither wanted to be picked up by Daddy nor wanted to take a cab home. For her, taking Mommy's bus home is also part of the treat…

As soon as we got off the bus though, she found out her candy spray was missing. She might have left it behind on the bus on the ride home. Because it was early, I drove her in the car to go back to the store for another candy spray. From there, we ended up going to Ikea. Sienna had the kid's meal - meat balls, broccolis and carrots, plus a side dish of two pieces of garlic bread and some smoked salmon from my place. She also had chocolate milk, another treat.

I bought a new curtain set for the study room and a pair of table lamps like this, that match so well with the lightings on the ceiling. The room is getting closer to completion when the curtain is up. Sienna asked, "Mommy, can you come pick me up again tomorrow?" To be able to pick her up itself is a treat for me. I wish I could do this everyday, my baby.
