miss you daddy.

Peter left for Houston at 8 this morning.  It was sad to see him go.  I have gotten so used to him helping with the kids.  I love it when he is here to rock aiden to sleep or read to michael.  He is such a good daddy.

About 9 or so Pappaw brought Michael home and we left about 9:30 for a play date at ten.  We were all supposed to meet up at the park behind Wylie high school.  After driving around the parking lot for a few minutes, I found my way back to the park.  I pulled in at ten exactly.  Too bad for me that none of the other moms showed up until around 11.  I even called my mom trying to figure out if I was at the right place.  I felt a little weird being the teacher there, but I guess it made it a little easier for the moms to connect through me.  I did the initial introductions of who was who's mom, and they took it from there after a little while.  It was nice to talk with other mom's with a kid the same age as Michael.  I guess I am never good at putting myself out there so everything like that felt weird to me. I guess I just have to learn how to talk to people.  Another reason is that most moms that have kids my age are older than me.  I never know what to do or say.  I had a really great time despite my own self doubt.

After that, 2 hours at the park, we went to eat.  I could tell Michael was just exhausted.  He was doing his tired whine/cry thing.

Aiden didn't allow me much sleep last night.  For some reason he woke up drainy and very congested.  That continued throughout the whole day.  He didn't get much sleep because of it, so I am hoping that he sleeps tonight.  I tired some squash at lunch today and he wasn't going for it.  He ate a whole thing of sweet potatoes yesterday, and even half a thing of bananas at night time.  I started giving him a chance to eat food like this at mother's day out just to see if he was wanting it or not.  I guess he is.  He still nurses afterwards anyway.  I don't think he's ready for the emotional; disconnect yet, the comfort part of it.  But he always stares whoever has food down, and reaches for it. I can almost see him drooling.  OK, he is drooling, no matter what is around, but you get my point.

We hung out for the rest of the hot day in the house.  Both Randi and grandma came for a short visit.  After that we took a bath and I had them both asleep by 8!  Woohoo for me.

Now I must go pump. and eat. I'm hungry!
