....to Grandma's house we go!
R and I are leaving this afternoon to spend most of the week up at Grandma and Grandpa's. I'm looking forward to it, and I know they are, too. If R knew where we were going, she'd be going nuts right now with excitement, so I won't tell her until just before we leave. She doesn't quite get the "later" or "after awhile" concept just yet. If you tell her something's coming, she expects it RIGHT NOW.
In other news, remember the potential job I mentioned a month or so ago? It's not going to work out after all. But I'm actually pretty glad. In that month I've had a renewed joy for being at home with my little one and lots of things have come up that I wouldn't have been able to do if I was working. So although I know I would've enjoyed it, I'm also relieved that I'm not going to have to try to balance work and motherhood, at least not for this year. Motherhood is complicated enough for me at the moment!
Well, we have a play date this morning, so I'm off to that. Next post will be from Grandma's house!
I was just talking to Brian about this same idea: we are going to grandparents in KY later this week, and we'll see all of Katy's cousins who she worships, and swim in the pool, but we haven't mentioned it, because she cannot understand what "in a few days" means. She has no clue we're going, and won't until we're on the way...
