Boys Week

While mommy was away Eric kept the boys busy. The Saturday I left, Hayden's school had their end of year picnic at a nearby park. Hayden played for hours with friends while Lincoln chilled with daddy. On Sunday, Eric took both boys to church and then headed to the Baltimore Zoo. A few minutes after getting there, Eric realized he had forgotten to bring a bottle for Lincoln. Hayden was pretty upset when they had to leave but daddy turned it into a mission to find a store that sold bottles in the city. Eric said Hayden was a big help and Lincoln handled his bottle being a little late pretty well. They found a Safeway, filled Lincoln's belly and then headed back to the zoo! Eric never breaks a sweat. Mommy would have been crying all the way home. :)

On Monday, Hayden had school. It was also parent/teacher conferences so Eric was able to chat with the teachers about how well he is doing. He definitely makes daddy proud! That afternoon he took them to the play place at the Colombia mall. I came home that evening and was so happy to see all my boys. The best part was knowing Eric still had off the entire week for vacation.

The rest of the week Eric took Hayden out daily for some sort of Adventure. On Tuesday he took him to his gymnastics class, the book store, and McDonald's play place. On Wednesday, Eric was the co-op parent at Hayden's school so he got to be in the classroom all morning. They went to an indoor place called Play and Learn that afternoon since it was raining. On Thursday they went to the Inner Harbor for the Aquarium, Paddle Boats, and Ice cream. Mommy and Lincoln enjoyed some bonding time at home. Being able to stay home and keep him on a good nap schedule gave us 3 nights in a row of him sleeping through the night. On Friday, the boys did some yard work, including planting mommy a small herb garden. It was a great week for all of us. Here are some pics.....
