So is anyone else sick of the rain? It's rained all week! All of the rain has made us stay inside and not do our daily walks.
Well my good school friend J invited Tucker and I to join her and her son at the mall for some jump fun! There is a jump place inside our local mall. J told me that she started taking her son E when he was around Tuck's age. So we headed over there after I got off work yesterday.
Tuck had so much fun!
Waiting on J and E to meet up with us. :)
Loves "driving" his feet don't touch yet. ha! ;)
Playing with Elmo's kitchen!
E kept thinking Tuck was going to take his car. :)
Trying to go up the slide. :)
busy, busy, busy!
The mall also has a train, so we went for a train ride!
He really loved it, even though his face doesn't show it in this picture! He looked around and waved a lot!
E and J riding with us!
What a fun afternoon with my sweet boy! I cherish this time with him each day. He make any bad day amazing! I'm so thankful to be his mommy!
So this week has been busy and was SUPER busy for our school on Tuesday. We were chosen to be apart of our school districts accreditation.
Tuesday morning was full of the team walking around our school, watching us teach, interviewing parents, interviewing students and teachers. They studied our data, plans, and programs.
All of us are so proud of our school and our district so it wasn't a "show" for the team when they came through.
I'm going to open up this post with some thoughts...
1. I am BEYOND thankful that the Mr. is able to keep our sweet boy.
2. I love my job, my co-workers, my students and being a teacher.
3. I am grateful for all that I have...beautiful home, cars, and my family.
4. I keep it real on this blog...yes, I share mostly good things, but occasionally I share things that aren't so happy.
So with all of that being said...
(I truly LOVE the fact that his Daddy makes him laugh this hard!)
This evening was hard.
The Mr. made a yummy dinner and we all three ate together. We played and laughed. We videoed Tuck going up all of the stairs and we kissed his bo-bos when he fell...
But why was it hard...because Tucker only wants the Mr.
When he fell and bumped his head...he wanted the Mr. When we woke up from his nam he wanted him. He wanted him to feed him, change him, bathe him...you get it right?
Well it hurts so much. I want him to want me. But I am away from him for 10 hours a day. I want to be the one who stays at home with him and reads to him, plays with him, feeds him foods he's never had, felt new teeth growing, puts him down for naps, teaches him new things. Like I've said, I am SO blessed to have an amazing husband who takes such wonderful care of our son. He's so amazing with him. And he does everything with him with love. But I just never imagined it being like this.
It's been like this for a couple of weeks...I know it's probably just an attachment thing, because the Mr. is home with him everyday and he's the one TJH sees the most. But it's so hurtful that I can't even hold him without him reaching for his Daddy.
I know this may sound like I'm complaining but really this is coming from my heart. It's so hard to see TJH not want to come to me, or play with me or let me be the one who takes care of him.
I know this will pass eventually...well, I hope it does. And I know it will be different in the summer when I'm home, but it doesn't change how it makes me feel now.
I'm praying that I can settle with all of this better. I know the Lord is so faithful and this is part of His plan for us...but right now this part isn't super easy for me.
