Mommy's trip away....Daddy's life as a single parent

A few weeks ago I had my first trip away from Tyler for an extended period.  We had been not so eagerly anticipating this week for a few months.  It was a very long week for all of us but Mommy survived a trip across the US without contact with her little boy; Daddy survived doing all the morning routines, daycare drop-offs & pick-ups, food prep and feedings, bath time and night time routines all on his own; and Tyler made it through a week confused because one of his playmates was missing.  Monday was a rough day for me dropping Tyler off at daycare-breaking down in tears saying goodbye to my baby boy.   Luckily the week was filled with lots of activities so it moved fairly quickly.  Unfortunately I was not able to see my boy the night I got home, but I got the best smile and hug come Saturday morning when Tyler woke up.  We are all hoping that there will be no more trips anytime soon for me!

Tyler's latest thing is hugs....he is such a good hugger it just melts your heart when he wraps his little arms around you.
