For the first time since he was born, I left Lucas. My hubby, Mark, has left him before for a few days, but I am pretty obsessed with my kid. I miss him after not seeing him for a couple hours if I know he is awake. Mark always asks me why I watch videos of Lucas - don't I get enough of him when I'm awake. I just think he is a cutie and it is fun to see him whenever I can.
So of course I was hesitant to drop my little guy off and just leave. I knew that he would be fine and happy but I was going to really miss my baby. He stayed with Mark's parents who have taken care of him quite a bit and I have to say, he is really easy right now with bed. He's a little more testing about what he wants but like other kids, I know he is the worst with us, his parents. They were great about using his cloth diapers and sticking with his usual sleep schedule.
We dropped Lucas off around noon but we didn't actually leave until about 1 pm after lunch. Of course Lucas didn't really care when we left. Then, off we were to Whistler to ski for the first time since I was pregnant with Lucas. That night was the worst because I just missed him and we'd see little kids all over the place. The next day we were skiing all day so I was pretty busy with that and I was exhausted. We even went to the movie theater together which is VERY rare for us. Our trip was only for 2 nights and of course we had to check out early so we had breakfast around 10am and then left the village since it was so cold out and we weren't skiing that day. On our way home, we got stuck in traffic and it really irritated me cause I wanted to get to Mark's parents house before Lucas went down for nap, but no... that didn't happen :( I just wanted to see my kiddo but I didn't want to check in on him while he was napping. It was nice to be back at home and have everything back to normal. Thankfully we had a day off from work for us to recover and unpack and clean.
Now I feel like I am dealing with alot more of the toddlerhood issues. Especially tantrums, throwing, and crying.. but that's for another post. Lucas is still a great kid, very loving, and I love how he sings. It's really amazing what little sponges kids are when they are growing. And now he talks non stop. I just have to try to figure out or know what he's saying cause of course he gets mad if I don't understand him :)
