I’m picking up my friend at the airport tonight. She’s returning from a ten day vacation in Palm Springs, CA. She’s the one I’ve been pet sitting for and whose car I’ve been using. Her flight gets in at 12:30 a.m. EST and it’s about an hour and a half drive home. I expect to be in bed by three, hopefully. The Helper has gone to Nannie’s overnight; he won’t be home until tomorrow night. Mommy’s dropping the Baby off at Nan’s tomorrow before she goes to work. All so I can get some sleep tomorrow. Have I mentioned before how much I am in love with this woman. I think I have, but it needs repeating. I love you honey!
A follow-up to “Real Men Don’t Cry”: The Baby had to go to the Dr.’s today for another vaccine and check up. He’s doing great; 75th-90th percentile on height and weight, as well as, making all his developmental milestones. This is always a big worry for us parents until they’re “out of the woods.” Supposedly, when they’re forty or so…that’s what I hear at least.
A follow-up to “Dad, My Socks Are Boring”: The Helper announced to Mommy and me, on New Year’s Eve that his room is “boring” too. Well, to be honest, we really haven’t changed it since he was a baby. Mommy and I have been talking about a room renovation but not until this summer. I think a remodel will be sooner than later, though. Especially, seeing as he was such a big help when we were doing his brother’s room in preparation for the baby’s arrival. My only problem is a logistical one – where to put all the crap toys while I’m repainting and revamping. Oh maybe he’ll just have to out grow this “boredom” phase. Or maybe he can just embrace a minimalist design concept. We’ll see -- I’ll keep you posted if anything else becomes “boring.” I sure hope I’m not boring to him? Hmmm… I’ll have to ask him. Thanks for reading!
