By day, Noah hung out with Mimi. She took him to school three times this week! He usually only goes once a week. He got a lot of playtime in with his buddies, Mason and Ty. This week (and my sanity) would not have been possible without my mom's help. I'm so thankful she is close and able to keep Noah while Cody is vay-kaying and I am at work. (Boy, am I ready for summer, but that's a whole other blog.)
I think I've cleaned more than I usually do this week. I want Cody to come home to clean house tonight. (He's on his way from Dallas right now.) I LOVE coming home to a clean house. I mowed the front yard while Noah napped yesterday and attempted to weed eat, but the string broke. And I vacuumed this afternoon. It's a little difficult with Noah because he's terrified of the vacuum cleaner. So to break his fear, he and I sat on the floor in front of the running vacuum. We touched it and put our fingers and cheeks up to the suction tube. We pushed it together sitting down then stood up and Mommy pushed it while Noah held my hand. Eventually he let go of my hand and followed me around like a little lost puppy. It was quite pathetic. There were moments when he would get too overwhelmed and reach out for me, but I just verbally reassured him that he was okay.I am truly amazed by single parents who rear children on their own without any help. I am so thankful for the man in my life who does so much to help out around the house and with our boy. We've really missed Daddy. I can't wait to have my husband home.
