Hubby takes N to daycare, which means I spend less time with him than I do with M. By the time N and hubby arrive home at the end of the day, it's time to eat, and then we usually only have about half an hour to play before he is completely exhausted and ready for bed.
On Wednesday, M told me, "I want to stay home with you guys and Daddy can go to work."
Do you hear that? It's the sound of my heart breaking into a million pieces.
Fortunately, both of the boys are loving daycare. N is adapting well despite not having a lot of time to ease into it. M is finally getting the hang of using the potty at his daycare, which may not seem like a big deal, but it means he's taking the transition to full-time quite well.
My work is not terrible. I have been with the company for almost 12 years, and I have a lot of good friends there. This week has been kind of a reunion, and I feel nearly popular with all the people stopping by my desk to welcome me back.
And we still managed to have an exciting week as a family!
Auntie Gaga arrived from the far North this week, which was exciting for both the boys and myself. N couldn't stop hugging her, and M led her around by the hand rather bossily, demanding she read to him and play with this toy and throw this ball and push this car.
We had a family BBQ this weekend, and met my other cousin's baby girl. She is SUPER cute and so tiny and I loved being able to snuggle her. The boys loved playing with their cousins and being doted on by their aunties and uncles and great aunties and uncles. Great Grampa even made an appearance!
Today we went to the Air Show. Wow. I have never been to an air show that I recall, and it Blew My Mind. I'm like a kid with airplanes, I love to watch them fly, I love flying in them, I'm fascinated by rockets and spaceships. YOU GUYS, WE MET AN ASTRONAUT!!!
M may have been mostly excited by the sticker that @Astro_Jeremy gave him, but he wasn't shy at all, and even sat on his knee for the picture.
Hubby seemed to really enjoy this Father's Day outing, getting some snuggle time in with N, who wasn't bothered by the noise once he got used to the ear muffs we put on him:
Of course, nothing tops the excitement of a 3 year old watching planes scream by at warp speed. I leave you with this image of pure joy and wonder.
