A Day With Grammy

Today, Caleb is out with Grammy for a full day doing what he wants to do. No mommy. No Zoe. No Grampa. Just so quality Caleb and Grammy time. I think it will be good for him because he really doesn't get the attention that he needs from his Grammy at all. As with everyone in the world, she gravitates to the baby and he notices that. So do I, and it bothers me too, but I do what I can to help her along. She's doing better, but there are days.

So, today is their big day. Toys R Us, movie at the theater, playing with the trains at Books-A-Million, seeing the fountains. Who knows what else. I hope he has a good time and I hope it's one that when he gets home, he's not really ready to come home. He's needed this for quite awhile, I think, and I know I need to do a little better in this department. I need to drop Zoe off at my parents more so that he and I can have that extra quality time with each other. I know he misses that.

So, come August, we're going to do that I think.

Also, I'm trying to figure out preschool's for Caleb. After watching him the past few weeks, he's really into movies and so forth, and that's all he wants to talk about. he doesn't really know how to engage in conversation with other kids. Now, I'm not sure if it's just an age thing, or if it's his lack of social activity with other kids, but I think it's time. I just need to see if we can swing it with him for a couple of days a week.

So, got a lot to think about over the next few months for sure.

In a couple of days, we're headed out to Texas for Caleb's big trip away from home. It's going to take us two days to get there since we'll have Zoe with us. I know she won't be handle a big drive all in one day. We'll play it by ear though.

He'll be gone for two weeks roughly. That will also be good for him too. But, boy am I going to miss him. The longest we've been apart is one week, so it's going to be different for sure. He's in good hands though and I know he'll have a good time.
