With everyone gone I got to spend a few days with just Spud. I have never been alone with just him for longer than an afternoon so it was a real treat. A little lonely at times...we found ourselves at the big dining room table in the evenings feeling very small. As much as I would of LOVED to have gone out to eat for every meal, since it was just us, I refrained and kept to our menu and budget. We did escape to Chick-Fil-A (otherwise known as "Junkfood For Jesus") for lunch on the second day of non stop rain so Spud could play (and I could get a lemonade fix.)
I did learn that "my baby" likes bubbles in his tub. I never thought to ask before, and Pnut is so noisily anti bubble that their tubby is sans bubbles every eve. From this week forward every other night the tubby is going to have bubbles.
Spud and I read a lot of books, did a LOT of cuddling, had many conversations about brother and Daddy and the family, spent a few hours in the swing ("push me in my swing? Higher? and higher? and higher?") All in all we enjoyed our quiet time together but we both have to admit we enjoy the chaos of our usual family times. Our family, the right combination of chaos and love! (I saw that on a sign :o)
