This weekend was the first weekend (and overnight) without mommy. Mommy went on a trip to Denver last weekend to visit friends. I know this ,first because I missed here tremendously. Secondly, the internal clock of a 23 month old seems to run 4 times faster than adults and she had this as her hourly chime (which is 15 minutes to us).
Alanna: Mommy?
Me: ....
Alanna: Mommy?
Me: Mommy's on a trip remember?
Alanna: Mommy's on trip.
Me: yup
Alanna: Visit friends
Me: yup
Me: ooo! look at the pretty snow!
And so, by way of distraction, I successfully averted an all out strike of the "want mommy's" from Thursday until this morning.
I would attribute it to my entertaining personality and my adeptness at being a good Dad, but alas, I think it is more that Alanna decided that she can survive without mommy for a few hours.
It appears that she decided that on Thursday night. We had a very fun weekend going to the zoo, buying new fish, playing in the snow (well ... I was shoveling, but Alanna thought that was playing), and waiting till our cheeks were nice an rosy before rushing inside to sip hot chocolate and watch the muppet show.
Overall it was a nice fun weekend. Mommy would have made it almost perfect.
We missed you Kristen, we're glad you're back :)
