Note: This popular Tumblr blog is on a small hiatus. The owner is currently enjoying a week to reclaim her sanity and very possibly, physical rest. Knowing her readers may wonder how the little guys are doing, I decided to writer her some updates.
Sat/Sunday: Miles entertains us daily with is it "time to go to Texas Mimi"? On Monday he tells us he doesn't want Zachy to go with us! When it is time to go down to the car service, he does his best to convince Mama she doesn't need to go down with us. Ungrateful child, right?
Mimi is feeling confident about this grandchild but hoping Zach can handle the separation from mommy. Oy Vey! It turns out what had Miles excited was the airplane ride and if he could do a round trip on a plane, hey he would be a very happy kid! The kid who I was promised would be glued to his Ipad the whole time, watched at the most 45 min in total during 4 hr trip. Marina asked "what did he do?!" My reply "why he talked the whole time of course!"
However, realization that he can't "go home on the spur of the moment was a bit daunting for him. Marina and Matt never have to worry that this kid doesn't love them to the moon and back!
Example: Marina sings Edelweiss from Sound of Music as their nightly lullaby. (Yeah, go figure, the least memorized song ever for good reason!)
I start to sing...
Miles: NO! You don't sing that song. Only mommy can sing that in NY!
I explain to him the wooden boat and airplane he likes was made by my "daddy"
Miles: Not your papa? Your daddy?
Mimi: Yes that is why it is so special to me.
Miles: (not to be out done) MY daddy drew me a picture of a racecar for my birthday!! (like, how do you top that?) A fact that gets repeated often around here.
Mimi: (after a sad face of I miss my mommy and I go home now!) Should we have some ice cream while we wait for wed?
Miles: Oh yeah! But my mommy has cookies too! (very sneaky kid knew we had oreos!)
Last but not least his version of one up game:
Miles: "I go home on Wed, right?" I nod my head yes. Okay then I pack today!
Mimi: Well, it's 5 days away...Plus, we still need to go see the movie Planes, right?
Miles: Well, MY daddy took me to see Monsters, Inc! AND I got popcorn! You got popcorn Mimi?
Mimi: I think we can get popcorn if you stay a few more days....
Miles: OK! I stay a little bit longer!
Did I just get outsmarted by a 3 year old?!
