The wife and I had a wonderful weekend getaway. It was nice to be able to relax, breathe for a few days and focus on each other. We did a lot of exercises to help reconnect with each other and help us to better communicate with each other. While we are not having specific problem, we thought anyone could always improve on the subject of communication.
While we were gone Rachel stayed with my brother’s family. She loves playing with her two older cousins who are also both girls. When we went to get her Sunday night she was playing with my brother. We almost had to conjole our daughter to return home with us. I think she was excited to see us, but had a lot of fun while she was there.
I am torn on her not missing us. Some part of me wanted to hear that she cried the whole time, begging for us. Some part of me was relieved that she was not that bad for my brother. She is growing up and learning that mommy and daddy are permanent and will return.
Today was a pretty easy day. She woke up kind of late and dragged herself around all day. She has a runny nose so I think she has a little cold which is sapping the energy from her normal excited body. She went to bed both for her nap and bedtime with out a bit of fuss. The only hard part of the day was trying to wipe her nose. I’m sure it hurt as I tried to get as much snot as possible. She still does not understand blowing through the nose.
