A day with my boy...

So this is my last week home before I take my big vacation to Mexico! We leave Saturday morning, and on Sunday night, I was already feeling like a bad parent. I started to tell myself that I was crazy for thinking that I could leave Henry for a week. A WEEK with daddy in charge. Oh boy, what kind of craziness with decend upon my clean little house while I am away? What will Henry go out into the world dressed like? Daddy has a strange habit of matching jammie tops with jeans. Don't ask! How will Henry survive without his mama? What if he gets sick, and I'm not there? Will he think I have abandoned him and write me off as dead?

Ok and people wonder why people are on mass amounts of anti-depressants. I am depressing myself just thinking about all the what ifs. But I made a promise to myself then and there that I would stop all the what ifing and just enjoy this week! That is precisely what Henry and I did today.

First it was getting out our nativity scene and playing with the Baby Jesus and his mama, daddy, and three wise man. We talked about how the wiseman brought gifts for the baby, and Henry kept bringing me each wiseman saying, "Here mama, here is a present for you!" *tear*
When that was over, Henry found daddy's cordless power tool. Then it was on....It works best when you stick your tongue out when you work the drill. Henry learned it from his daddy.

After fixing the dump truck, we decided that Lightening McQueen needed a tune up...

After everything was fixed, tuned up, and generally checked over, we took the cars out for a spin..

I even believe that my hubby was slightly impressed when I brought out coloring pages for Henry that I discovered online. We colored Mickey Mouse, Thomas the Train, and Pooh for free!!!!

I love spending this kind of time with Henry. Seeing his face light up when I start zooming a car around or offering to "go to walmart" or pizza planet with him. For such a short time in his little life, I'm going to be funny, smart, exciting, and generally his whole world, and I'm going to take full advantage of this time with my baby bubba....
