The Trip - Day 11

Today is day 11 of our Tri-State Baby tour and we just have a few more stops and 6 days left. It is nice traveling around and the boys are enjoying it greatly. I think though that they are starting to get over spoiled by some unnamed people throughout the whole trip.

Each day has been a new adventure filled with excitement, love, and long drives. We are getting to see everyone we have not seen in a while and a long while. Yesterday we went to visit an old college friend who lives by my parents named Derrek. Samuel was so excited to go see him but when we got to the restaurant he started asking where Derrek was and we would point to our friend. Samuel would answer back with some frustration "That's not Derrek, I want to play with Derrek." Then we realized that he thought we were going to see our neighbors at home who have son his age named Derrek.

"Daddio Work"

Over the past three weeks Mommy has been home with the new baby and everyone has been loving it. The baby loves having Mommy there to feed him, the boys love having Mommy there to take the to play while she works out, and Daddio love having Mommy there to take the boys to play while she works out. :o) All in all everyone loves Mommy.

Some days though I feel that the boys love her more than me and this week they proved my theory. One day while the boys were taking a nap Mommy went to the bathroom, when they woke up she was still in there and Samuel came running out and could not find Mommy so he asked if Mommy had gone back to work. I kindly answered with a little laugh "No Samuel, Mommy is in the bathroom." With a little thought he replied, "Daddio, can you go to work and let Mommy stay home?"

A sad but happy moment in my life, sad because he wants Mommy to stay and me go, but happy because I know she does a better job at it that I do and she loves it.

Like people always say children never lie and tell the truth even if you do not ask. "Mommy Andy hit me back!"

Snowing

So this week Samuel and Andy were sick and have been so kind to share it with me. Anyway yesterday I was at home and had bundled up in my jacket. Well when Samuel came home he looked at me a laughed saying "Silly Daddio, it is not snowing take off your jacket."

But then what made it even better was he became very persistent about it all and ever tried to take it off for me.
