Walter and X went hunting this weekend at his mom's property. Before you go and think that my little boy was "roughin it" in the woods, let me clarify. Hunting includes staying in a fully furnished house with granite countertops, satellite TV, and lots of good food!
This was the first time I was away from X overnight aside from my hospital stay when I had Wes. I was nervous about how he would sleep, if he would eat good, etc. You know, all ridiculous things considering he was with Walter and Grandparents - people who clearly know how to care for a 2 year old!
Well, X did great and had a fabulous time from what I hear. He cuddled up with Daddy for a nap, made brownies with Gma Tina, and went on numerous tractor rides. (All of which was unfortunately NOT documented with pictures - shame, shame Walter!!)
While I was initially apprehensive about the weekend, it turned out fabulous for me and Wes as well. Why did I ever think it was so hard just having 1 kid? It's a breeze!
Wes was a rock star all weekend. He was in a great mood, ate good, played well, was walking a bunch, took good naps, and slept well overnight. I think he really enjoyed the quiet and one-on-one mommy time. X has been tormenting Wes lately so I think he was happy to have full access to all the toys too.
I have to say that I enjoyed the quiet as well. I love X to death, but the boy doesn't know the meaning of "inside voice". I also enjoyed taking a nap at 9am Saturday morning when Wes went down for his nap. I haven't had a morning nap since about 2008. It was awesome to just crawl back in bed with my pj's still on!
Walter didn't get a deer and he didn't end up hunting all that much. But that is ok. He decided he would rather spend more time with X and less time in the tree stand. What a good dad!
