So much more

We're all home from a weekend away, and glad to be here. Evan enjoyed his trip to Grandma and Papa's house a little too much--he didn't want to get back into the routine this morning. The kid cried and carried on all the way to school, and his teachers made me leave him in a little sobbing heap on the steps. I know he'll be fine once he's in there, but it's the getting him in there that's tough.

But he did have fun this weekend--lots of playtime in the sun, a Cleveland Indians game with his Daddy and Papa, trips to the park and the batting cages. I'm sure he'd consider it an ideal weekend all around. He's getting better and better at hitting a baseball (from a tee--we're not ready for the big leagues just yet) and better and better at saying no. He's now added a "neh neh" sound when he shakes his head no. It's excellent verbalization, and yet still totally irritating when I'm trying to get him to do something.

Now I need to spend a few hours getting us back into the swing of things. I have to wash all the dirty vacation clothes, and go grocery shopping because we're out of everything (when there's no juice or bread, we're out of everything). The next two weeks are going to be pretty hectic around here, and I want to be ready.
