Life at home without him has been completely upside-down, the first few days he was gone, bedtime was so…so sad. Bedtime comes VERY easy in our home… I am extremely blessed with a 2 year old who loves to sleep as much as mommy does, and its never a fight, but we do have a routine…disrupt that and everything changes. Every night my poor baby was so worried where Joe was, crying in bed that he NEEDED to say goodnight. Broke my heart, although, it only took a few days for him to get past bedtime. Thank goodness. Now his crazy over active adorable imagination is in over drive and he’s been ‘talking’ to his our sweet Joe… In the cutest, most innocent, excited little boy voice you can imagine, he came running to me with his fake phone propped in his shoulder saying, ‘Oooh! You’re in the car?? You’re comin home now!!?? Mommy! Joe’s comin home now!!’
As you will come to learn, if you don’t already know I am EXTREMELY sensitive and it doesn’t take much to make me cry… So, even though it filled my heart that he loves him so much, it brought on the tears. It made me feel like the bad guy to have to tell him ‘No sweetie… he’s not comin home yet….’ It was like I broke his favorite toy right in front of him…
SOO! To try to save ourselves from missing him more than we need to, any time that falls outside our normal schedule, I’ve been trying to fill with fun and random things! We’ve been pretty busy, me and my little guy!
Tonight we made brownies and Nanna house… by WE, I really mean, ME, and he just licked the spoon!
i love that he's not wearing any pants, and I can only assume, he's wearing the cowboys boots? :)
