When two are away...the other gets to play

With two older kids visiting their Bibi on Spring Break, I am enjoying two things: quiet and my "baby" boy.  Today Josiah enjoyed being the center of attention by both parents.  Since Monday is his Daddy's day off, Jed played with Daddy this afternoon while we both cooked.  He threw balls at us while I folded laundry.  We took him jogging on the bike path.  He got to sit in a big boy chair at dinner and proceeded to grab broccoli off my plate.  Then after supper we even took a walk and went to play at the Tot Lot.  Such fun.  He's been a peach all day.

Our house has been so quiet without the other two chatterboxes.  I swear I heard three or four new words today from Jed.  He woke up and noticed the empty bed and said, "Where's Addie?"  He also asked for "Sasha."  Somehow those S's become Sasha.  I also have a huge list of things I would like to accomplish in these three days.  Without having to drop people off and pick them up all day long, our day was so wide open.  So, I am going to seize the opportunity tomorrow to run lots of errands and not worry about getting them all done before 11:30 preschool pick-up.  Such luxuries.
