Love that smile

So Last night I attended a meeting about advocating for your child in the school system. there was no reason for me to go all the way home and then come back downtown, so Robert picked up Kayden and arranged a ride home for Caitlin for gymnastics (thanks Kelly !) and Teresa watched the girls- since Robert was working.

It was really nice to have a night where I didnt have to rush home, and I casually went and grabbed a bite to eat with a coworker before the meeting. Toward the end I got a text from Rob- saying everything at home going well and enjoy my meeting. Awww how sweet. So at the end I called him to say I was on the way home and heard about how the kids were fighting over corn dogs and Teresa was complaing that the baby was a monster and she needed to get in the shower- aka welcome home mom !

Once I got home, I found Kayden asleep in her swing and Teresa was on her way to a shower. Caitlin had already had one and informed me "I have to give Teresa a compliment" she told me how she banged her knee on the stairs and her sister carried her and got her ice ! - I guess the corn dog fight was over. So I got ready for bed and finished dealing with the big girls and went down to get Kayden to put her in bed for the night.I gently picked her up and the eyes opened- crap ! I hope she didnt think that was a nap and she was planning on waking up ! So I patted her bottom and watched her looking around. Next thing I know our eyes met- she realized it was mommy holding her and her whole face lit up with a huge smile !! AWWW my heart melted cause she knew her mommy was holding her. I patted her more and got her back to sleep. What a wonderful ending !

I told Robert the story and he said she does the same thing to her and once she smiles he wants to play with her. So the truth comes out !!!! All those time she says she wakes up is really him playing with her after she smiles at him. I wanted to get mad for him ruining my routine I had her in but after seeing her smile at me, who can blame him ! But he is not doing it anymore ! I dont want to create bad habits !

On the subject of Robert- he called me this morning to tell me all the critters have been dropped off.... the bird and the bugs !!!! but this morning there was a new one.....t-bird (Teresa's nick name when she was little), tooterbug (Caitlin), Kaydebug (Kayden), and Molly fish ! Molly fish I ask ??? Molly is our neighbor and Teresa's friend that we car pool with sometimes. Yes, he replied- a Molly is a fish ! LOL (get it ???)
