Quiet House

It's  a little after 6, and it's silent in my house. This is weird! Jacob had a gift card he wanted to go use at WalMart, so I asked if Daniel could tag along? Now he and Daddy are out on an adventure together. I'd say in the past 2 years I've only been in the house alone maybe 5 or 6 times. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really loving it! Sometimes it's nice to have some quiet time at home.

Today was my second day back at the Y. Both days have gone really well. The worst part almost is just getting Daniel to the car and then into the building. I used to lift him into the car, but now I make him climb in. He takes his sweet time, and it's always cold out! How do little kids never seem to notice the temperature!?

I've had my group of regular kiddos and it's been nice being back with them. I love the days when I just have a handful or kids and not 15! :) I think Daniel likes being back into his routine too, although yesterday he shed a lot of tears. I think he just got used to being home and wasn't quite back into the groove of hanging out with other kids.

That poor kid has a cold that's been hanging on for awhile too. Not only does he have a cough and runny nose, now he has goopy eyes too. It's not pink eye, thankfully! He's been cracking me up though. I'll look over and he'll have his finger up his nose and then he'll say to me, "Booger?? Nose!" Looks like he'll have a cold for the second year in a row on his birthday.

Speaking of his birthday...a couple of the presents I ordered him aren't even going to make it in time for his birthday like they were supposed to. They just finally shipped today. I know he won't know the difference though, but it's still a bummer. Jacob will be gone all day on Saturday for a music event for school, so it's just me and the kiddo. We'll celebrate with my family next week and then with Jacob's parents when we get home because it just didn't work out to celebrate early.

Now, I shall just bask in the silence until the rest of my family comes home. If I had a nice bathtub, now would be the perfect time for a nice long bubble bath...but alas, our bathtub takes forever to fill up, so I'll just keep dreaming. :)
