Today is day 2 of a five day stretch of Hank and I on our own. I mentioned before that we've had house guests for a little while, as in just over 5 weeks, I think. The house feels empty, to say the least. Yesterday, Henry twice suggested we go to his cousins' house to play. Instead we went to a new ice cream shop downtown and played by the Lansing Lugnuts stadium. This was all after a big storm went through so Henry wasn't sure he wanted to play outside because he was "a little bit scary." I often remind him that one of my jobs is to keep him safe and that seems to stop the scaries a little bit. Since the Common Ground Festival is going on, there was a plane flying around pulling a big ol' banner and Henry loooooooved watching it. "Look at that, Mom-mom! Look! Look! Looooook!!!" It doesn't matter how many times I enthusiastically respond, "I SEE IT, HENRY! I SEE IT!! I SEEEEEEEE IIIIIIITTTTTTT!" He demands I look some more. I love it.
Spending all day with a two-and-a-half-year-old is exhausting. By the end of the day I'm lucky if I can get the floor cleaned up and a little scrubbing in before I fall in bed with a book.
It's good to have these kinds of problems.
