Single Dad
Lisa left last night around 6:00 on a women's retreat and will be back Sunday night around 7:00. That makes it "Single Dad Weekend."
This morning I woke up with a cold foot on the small of my back. James doesn't share a bed with me when Lisa is gone. No, he woke up, crawled under the covers, and deliberately put his freezing cold foot right there. There is no question that this was premeditated. He was giggling uncontrollably when I awoke. Screaming.
There are worse ways to start your day then with a tickle fight. After we both fell out of bed, he dressed himself while I got ready for work. He got some breakfast and put his own lunch together before putting on his socks. There was just enough time for some slip-n-slide on the new wood floors before we piled in the Mustang and headed for school. For a kid 10 days shy of turning 5, he does pretty good. Don't worry, he put his shoes on before we left too.
The weather looks forboding this weekend...we had hail last night and there is a chance of, believe it or not, snow...but if we have any sunshine at all, we'll get out and play some catch and hit the ball off the tee. Otherwise we'll watch some vids, build some forts, play some Hot Wheels, and just hang out for the next couple of days. Doesn't sound all that bad, does it?

Sounds like heaven. I'll look forward to seeing you two boys tonight!
What I wouldn't give for those days again.
Enjoy my Math Brother.
P.S.
For some real fun, let James take every sock out of the sock drawer and have either a "sock fight" or a nice indoor game of "sock-baseball."
