single parent
Now that we are back in TN we have been trying to keep busy. With just lil P and I the days can really drag on if we don't get out of the house. We have been to the park, went on runs, and had some playdates with our friends. When we first came back from staying with Nana and Papa Parker was having a little trouble adjusting back to his gym daycare and his bible class at church. The first time I dropped him off at the gym daycare you could have heard his screams a mile away, I SOOO wanted to go back in and get him but I stayed strong and sure enough within a couple of minutes he was totally fine. He knows what he is doing, he plays the game;) I always love going back into get him after I am done working out because the second I open the door he drops whatever is in his hand and immediately starts to fake cry as if to say "oh I know it "looked" as though I was having fun but really I was miserable the entire time." ha ha ha!! I can honestly say with the weather getting nice its really a bittersweet thing for me. I am excited to be able to take Parker outside to play but at the sametime I am very sad that Michael is not here for this. Summer was our favorite with Parker last year, we loved going to the park and grilling out. I am really going to miss that this summer. It really hit me hard today driving with the windows down feeling the warm, sunny air I wanted so bad to pick up the phone call Michael at work and tell him "I'm not cooking lets grill out tonight." I have really found since he left that no matter how excited I get about something like the warm weather, nothing is as good as it could be if he were here. I know this too shall pass and he will be here before I know it, but until then Parker and I will continue to trudge on and enjoy the beautiful weather! Its amazing to me how one of my biggest fears about Michael leaving was being a single parent while he was away, it seems as though my biggest fear has turned into my biggest blessing, I don't know how I would get through this without our beautiful baby boy. He keeps me going!
