Year 1, Day 304

Fourth of July weekend!  How happy were we to leave the city early and head out "west".  Not much to do all weekend except enjoy the sun, swim in the pool, celebrate Auntie Sha's birthday, and visit with Aunt Rach and Uncle Chris. Though it sounds chock full of plans, we are hanging low and taking things as they come this weekend.

Jackson, on the drive home today, asked me where his Daddy was. I said "daddy is working", but strangly, I couldn't get ahold of him today at the office (he was actually very busy and not his desk as I learned later). Jackson's response, when I said he wasn't answering his phone . . . "Daddy's golfing." It was priceless. Poor Mike, he's only been out on the course once this year and that was for a charity event. How Jack remembers these things, I have no idea! His mind is a steel trap. I am bracing myself for the things he comes up with when he's old enough to articulate what he experienced or heard at this age. I always remember cringing as a preschool teacher when the kids would out their parents on something completely inappropriate that they had overheard. Children are always listening. And, they can spell ALOT earlier than you think!!
