Nothing has changed, which is comforting and I am sure the level of stress will escalate once my email/computer are at 100%. Right now I am waiting on updates and sitting patiently waiting for work. It's not such a bad thing, I am underwhelmed and relieved.
I am worried about my little man. It was his first morning without me and so far its been rough on him. Holly has sent me pictures and updates, but he's a sad little dude and I want to go rescue him RIGHT NOW. I have 29 minutes left.
Just enough time to do three months of catch up.
Thomas is ONE. My baby is a toddler.... a walking, talking personality who makes me laugh EVERY day. He's determined and lets it be known. Although his fits are short and easily rectified with something shiny, the tears still break my heart. Over the last three months he has figured out walking and my iPhone. His favorite thing is to snuggle on my lap and watch YouTube, mostly Muppets.
We had a HUGE party for him this past weekend... Richard thought I was insane trying to pull it off, but it was awesome. We hosted a intimate picnic for 60 at the park near our house. It was red and white checkers with baskets and twine. We had sandwiches, apples and death by chocolate, TWO cakes and a water fight, which was more successful than I could have imagined. Everyone had a blast, including the birthday boy who left the party exhausted and covered in blue icing.
Mummy and Daddy got Thomas more balls for his pit and a HUGE Ninja Turtle ball the same size as him to kick around at the park. Grandma and Pop(ples) got him a motorcycle and in the first 10 minutes he had it figured it. Thomas grabbed the throttle, threw his leg over and took off.
Ummm.... 3 months seems like so long, yet we did a lot of the same. Dozens of trips to the park, lots of naps and plenty of ice cream. Thomas and I bonded in a way I didn't expect. He learned how to kiss... albeit open mouthed and slobbery. He learned to dance. He figured out how to make his intentions known and he made new friends.
What a life. I am thrilled to be back at it, but I miss him SO much.
It just keeps getting better!
xoxo
