So I said good bye to E this morning as I left for work. He's heading off to WV today with my mom to see my uncle's family and then to see my Grandmother or "G" as he calls her. He is such a good traveler and was really excited about going to see "G". I am, of course, extremely bummed that he will be gone for ten days. He is so much fun and brings so much joy to my life that ten days without him here seems like a lifetime. However, I would never keep him from going with Mom because the time he gets to spend with my grandmother and my uncles and cousins is invaluable!! I want him to have the same wonderful memories of his extended family that A had. She made this trip with Mom every year until she started Kindergarten. Then for a few years, Mom got to go alone. My grandmother loves toddlers so she is over the moon about having E there for a visit. He talks 90 miles an hour now and she can't understand anything he says but she will just laugh and he will just keep talking.
Tonight I have a Girl's Night Out with my TC friends and I am really looking forward to the distraction. Even dear hubby thought it was a good idea for me to get out of the house tonight so I didn't spend it pining for my baby boy. A is always excited to have us to herself again but even she was a little sad this morning when she told him good bye. She will get over the sadness real quick though and expect me to take her to the movies, bowling, etc. the whole time he's gone. She really only gets "mommy" time on special occasions these days to this time is good for us too.
Here's hoping I survive the next 10 days til my baby comes home....
