This past weekend was the first time that I've ever been away from Matthew for 2 consecutive nights. And he's 1 1/2! While I was off having a splendid time with my college girlfriends Steven had the pleasure of taking care of our son. Steven's folks were in town, too, so there were some extra hands on deck which I'm sure Steven appreciated. Whenever I would call to check on them it sounded like they were having a good time...or at least everyone was still alive and free from tears. My mother-in-law, Joyce, took this picture in Matt's room. His audience looks kind of bored, no? But it looks like Matt was pleased with his tower construction.
I think it was good for Matthew to have some space from me, and I know he got some excellent daddy bonding time in. When I arrived back in town yesterday afternoon he didn't immediately come running, but there was a lot of lap sitting and thumb sucking that followed. I had a brilliant time with my sweet friends and I'm so so glad we got to get away like that together (the highlight was indeed the massage and the fancy dinner!), but I missed my family and was thrilled to get home. Matthew sure is pooped...he's almost on hour three of a nap right now! Perhaps all the details of his weekend weren't disclosed to me entirely. Curious...
Our day so far has been a morning at the gym followed by watching Steven mow the grass (Matt would wave to him and say, "hi da-da" every time he walked by pushing the mower), laundry, lunch and now a nap of course. Next up will be the always exciting trip to HEB and a wonderful evening over at Tim and Pam's for dinner. Hooray!!!
