When Mama is in France

Also Known as When Mama Leaves the Country Without Me, Daddy Becomes My Favorite!




Here are a few tips for all two year olds wishing to break their mother's heart:
(tested by Hannah)
  1. Make sure that everyone agrees that babies don't remember when their Mama's go to France and therefore won't be forever damaged by them leaving!
  2. Be REALLY cute on the phone while the Mama is in France and be sure not to tell them what is going on at home.
  3. When you pick Mama up from the airport, for just a brief second, long enough for the Mama's heart to break just a little bit, look a little scared like maybe you don't recognize her.
  4. For the rest of the week, when you hurt yourself cry and ask for Daddy, when it's time to go to bed ask for Daddy, when it's time for a bath, ask for Daddy.  Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!!!!
Why?  Because Daddy doesn't leave the country without his baby!!
Oh, the guilt!

Don't worry Natalie - Mom said I did the same thing at 2 years of age when mom and dad went to Hawaii and left me at Grandma Sylvia's. When they came home I wouldn't speak to mom for two weeks. But you will soon be on favorite status again! Hope you had a great trip - the pics are awsome - how could you not have a great time! Well, we'll see you soon and Ezra can meet all of his cousins :)

Maybe if you took Hannah on a ride on a bull dozer or a fun riding mower, you could win her over. Daddy does seem to have lots of fun toys.
