Tomorrow morning at horribly early o’clock in the morning, Noah and his mommies leave to go to Washington DC, where we have an action packed schedule!
- Friday: Meet Grandma & Grandpa! And maybe some other people!
- Saturday: Mommy’s HS Reunion! Noah gets to look cute at her classmates and their kids in the afternoon, then stay with Aunt Mikki & Aunt Claire while his Mommies go to the fancy evening stuff without him. (It’s the other Mommy’s reunion. I look forward to meeting the people with whom she used to play softball.)
- Sunday: Meet Levi and his Mommies! Go home and tell the ceiling fan all about it!
After I wrote that last line, I realized it made no sense because I forgot one of the cutest things about the beach trip last weekend:
Noah was SO! EXCITED! to get home. He did not stop babbling for the first 15 minutes. Mostly he beamed and cooed at the ceiling fan in the living room and the bookshelves in the corner.
When he was chattering at either of these places, he smiled with the same enthusiasm normally reserved for the first time he sees us in the morning. Other rooms in the house were warmly greeted, but it’s clear who Noah’s favorites are. Yes, I could be replaced by a ceiling fan in Noah’s affections. A small taste of life when he’s a teenager?
Of course, he’s long loved these shelves. They even used to calm him down when he was an inconsolable newborn.
(Aside to Reno: Go to Flickr on a BB connection and look closely at the left hand shelf!)
Look for a photo frenzy when we get back.
Have fun, guys! I am looking forward to all the pics of babies and mommies. So cute that he loves the fan.
Liza!!! I’ve missed you, but have loved reading your blog. Sounds like you will have a crazy busy weekend, and I will too, but I would love to see you, Jill and Noah next time you are in town.
Love
Ellen
