Home Again

It's official. After 3 nights of staying dry in a pullup, Kaitlyn said she wanted to sleep in her big-girl panties, and she hasn't worn a diaper or pullup since. I tell her how proud I am that she's staying dry, and she'll grin and chant "No more diapers! No more pullups!". Yah Hoo!!!

The rest of our trip to Ohio was terrific. We played outside lots, including a couple trips into the woods. I'm thankful the weather was unseasonably warm, because on one trip, Kaitlyn discovered the fun of splashing in the creek and ended up completely soaked. She had a ball! She also got quite good on her scooter. And she did very well on the return trip to Tennessee, so for that I am also thankful.

It was so great to see Zach again! I missed my boy! Rick had him in the tub when we got home, so when he saw me, he grinned, waved, then clapped. I loved it. Our reunion was perfect... lots of smiles and hugs, and he wasn't clingy either. Rick commented a couple times how much he enjoyed the exclusive time with Zach, and I can really tell Zach's bond with him is stronger.

Of course, much gratitude goes to Tote and June, who kept Zach during the days while Rick worked, and then fed Rick supper when he went to pick up Zach. I know Rick sure was grateful. Who knows... June's such a good cook, he may be urging me to go away again soon!
