I am heading out this week for our Guzewicz family trip to Ireland.
I started talking to Christopher last night about it. In between the "I am going to miss you" comments that break my heart, he seemed excited about the fact that (1) he and Daddy would be "in charge" (what a great phrase) and (2) I would be leaving him a prize and a note for each day I am gone. Suddenly the "missing you" comments were replaced with "what kind of prizes?"
Typical kid. Typical, perfect, awesome kid.
We hit a couple of milestones today as a family. We went to Fuddruckers for my early Mother's Day lunch and the kids did really well. They have finally grasped the concept of being in a restaurant (or, like my little blond perfect, awesome kid says, a lunch-ta-raunt) so we enjoyed lunch together. Big moment for us - restaurants are getting easier and easier.
Then we went to the pool and the two of them had a BLAST! And, I didn't have to get wet. I got to watch them from the sidelines and they played with some other kids - it was fantastic. The weather was perfect - life was good.
You may be wondering about my one-bag adventure - it is still ON! I packed my first packing cube on Friday and will be experimenting with more tomorrow. Cannot wait - very excited about it all.
Stay tuned for more Ireland updates after May 21st. Until then, like the Irish say, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
