Tomorrow Never Comes

Thursday, October 15, 2009

I've been trying to prepare Duke for our absence and explain to him that he would be going to stay with his Nonni and Gramps while Daddy and I go on a trip.  We are leaving before he wakes tomorrow, so when Darrell left for work today it was the last time he would be seeing him until Monday afternoon.  He's been really excited about staying at Nonni's, saying "That's a treat!"

Well, this morning he started pushing me saying, "Go on a trip, Mommy.  Want to go to Nonni and Gramps'."  I tried to put him down for a nap and gave up after 2 hours of him hopping about in there.
When I came to get him out of the crib, he wanted to know if they were there to pick him up.  As we walked out of his room, he was going through the house saying, "Where are you Nonni and Gramps?  Come out, stop hiding... I am ready to go to Nonni's house."

Good to see he's not heartbroken over my departure.


It's going to be a long night in the Wakley house.  I was going to tell him that they'd be here in the morning when he woke up, but I'm afraid that might happen at 1 am, and then what would I say?!
