Not Mommy
Friday was my first full day alone with Trevor. Sure Tara had been gone for a day or so before, but this was the first time that it was 100% my show, and I wanted to do it all correctly.
All morning Trevor assaulted me with statements like:
"Mommy doesn't put my clothes for the day on the chair, she puts it on the bed."
"Mommy lets me pick my breakfast before she gives me cereal" - Trevor
"Ok, do you want the cereal that I put out for you?" - Dave
"yeah" - Trevor
"Ok, then" - Dave
"Mommy puts my lunch box inside of my backpack, not next to it."
Well guess what boys and girls. I'm not mommy. As it turns out it doesn't matter where your underwear is, or that your lunch is arranged counterclockwise. The boy is still alive.
We are spending the weekend here in Burlington with Tara. It looks as if it will be at least two weeks before we get to see her again so it seemed like a good choice. We miss you mommy!
