No nagger

We're on day two of a week with no papa. He's off working in San Diego until Friday, lucky dude. I'm going to try to keep Brandt extra busy this week because he's become the world's biggest Dan fan lately. He often says and signs "papa" and searches the house--and that's when Dan is just across the lake at his office for eight (well, more like ten) hours during the day. We dropped Dan off at the airport yesterday morning so I'm hoping that'll help remind Brandt that papa's off in an airplane to return in a few days.

This morning we hosted our first (and to be monthly) playdate. Only two other toddlers attended, but it got me to drop the doggies off for a bath and clean the house really well. Playdates are the best for that! And I expect more visitors in the coming months now that the ball is rolling.

In the afternoon we hit the park. It rained shortly before we left the house so there weren't many kids out. And unfortunately they had just fertilized the nearby trees so it was pretty stinky. Bettie and Lyle would have loved that, but they were stuck at home, smelling flowery.
