Another weekend without daddy

Jason has been traveling a lot on the weekends - more than expected. I guess we both thought his travels would be during the week, not the weekends. But, once demo season slows down, we may be seeing more of them.

On that note, my weekends have become 'mommy, zachy time'. I do love how he is my little angel though. So, this weekend has been lots of fun! Yesterday we took the dogs to their new vet for their annual visit. Zachary LOVED having the dogs in the car with him. Today however, I decided that it was too nice outside to go to gymboree and then come home only to wait 1 hour before lunch and then nap - so we went to the zoo! A little colder than expected, but fun none-the-less. The best gift Zachary has ever gotten was our family membership to the zoo from pop pop and Connie. This year, he is definitely more excited to see all the animals. Not to mention - he walked the entire zoo all by himself! He ran around, pointed out the animals to me and was so excited to see them all. I was so proud of him that I told him he could pick out any gift he wanted at the store for being such a big boy - and what did he grab? A stuffed owl! Why an owl you ask? Well, at the camp discovery station there was a small barn animal, and the keeper taught Zachary how to make a owl sound that then made the owl make the sound back to Zachary - he LOVED it!

Tonight though, that was fun. We went to the White Marsh Ave (lots of restaurants and shopping). We started by getting a recordable book at hallmark for daddy to read so he can 'read to Z' every night when he is gone. Then we decided to go to Don Pablos for dinner - long wait. So we walked down to carters where of course I saw LOTS to buy - but I held off. We went back to the restaurant where Zachary was an incredibly good boy and ate all his food - but those sales were stuck on my brain! So after dinner, we went back where I loaded up on pj's for next winter (and of course a cute pair for this summer!). By this time it was 7:30, we were singing loud in the car and dancing. So, why not stop and get some ice cream!

My little man gets everything from me when Daddy is gone, because he is just so good! Tomorrow we have nothing exciting planned for just the two of us - except maybe a trip to the park. Then off to cousin Kaitlyns family birthday party - too bad Jason isn't here to be with the family.

So weekends are tough, but I truly do enjoy my one on one time with my favorite little man!
