On Wednesday night, daddy boarded his Jet Blue flight for Las Vegas for CES. Jenna, Maya and mommy were at home until Saturday morning without our patriarch--famous for making some mean breakfasts for Jenna, doing some serious yoga ball bouncing with Maya and providing tlc and a key sense of humor for mommy.
We did have the fun of Emmy and Sabba helping out in the afternoons and spending the night as well. Jenna had the pleasure of making cookies with Emmy--one of her favorite pastimes, playing lots of tea party, baby, and doll house with Sabba and a special treat, having mommy bathe her each night, taking over one of daddy's traditional roles. Maya was lucky to have Emmy and Sabba there to snuggle with, sing to her and bounce on the yoga ball too. (They kept asking for a stroller to walk around the house with--Maya likes to be on the move!)
The sad/sweet/surprising event that took place this trip was a comment that was repeatedly made by Jenna. To help her understand more about when Scott was going and when he would be home, we made a calendar and ripped off a page each day he was gone until the morning he came home. Each morning we'd rip off the day and then Jenna would request to "Call daddy's cell phone!" When we'd get Scott, 4 or so hours later--we respected the time difference as best as we could--Jenna would get on the phone with her daddy and say "Daddy, please come home soon!" clear as day! It was only on Saturday morning that she gave me the BIGGEST grin when we ripped off the last page and she said "DADDY COMES HOME!" Talk about a happy kid!
Daddy was greeted with hugs, kisses and smiles galore! (Plus some heartfelt artwork!) It's great to have him home!
