Slice of Heaven

I had a week alone with Cameron. The two of us flew back while James stayed with the boys. He had training in Toronto and the boys stayed with James' parents. I had booked my tickets before all of this was decided so I ended up coming home with just Cameron. It was such a delightful treat! Here is my top 10 list of why it was a slice of heaven for one week:

10. I got to go shopping for 5 guilt free hours with a perfectly behaved baby
9. I only had to clean up after myself and one little person
8. There was only one person demanding my attention each day
7. I didn't have to cook for anyone
6. Only one little person to bathe
5. Jameson and Stellan had a chance to miss and therefore appreciate me
4. Nap time 3 times a day!
3. I got to sleep in!! (Sure, I got up in the middle of the night but still!)
2. I had unique one-on-one bonding time with my third baby.
1. The house was QUIET!!! I forgot how loud Jameson and Stellan can be!

I didn't realize how peaceful the house was until Jameson and Stellan returned and reminded me how loud and boisterous they can be. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I missed my little stinkers!

We did have some great phone conversations though:

Stellan, who was in a hurry and didn't want to slow down long enough to talk, "Hi Mommy, I love you, OK, bye!".

Jameson was telling me a story when I missed a part of it and said, "Oh, pardon honey, I didn't hear you". "Mommy, I said pardon first because I didn't hear you." I love hearing little boy manners on the phone.

Stellan can be difficult to understand on the phone but Jameson is thoroughly entertaining. He conducts rather mature conversations with a real flow to them. I can't believe how much my baby is growing!
