One month...

Chris left about 5 weeks ago now.  To celebrate, we went out to dinner on Friday night with a few other 2-504 moms and kids.  (Unfortunately Heather's son picked up a nasty stomach bug so they had to bow out last minute).  We had a great time together.  I really enjoy the other wives in our unit.

Before we left for dinner, Peter kept asking me to ride his bike up to Cortney or Summer's house.  

"NO!" I kept telling him.

To which, of course, he replied, "Whhhhhy???"  

"Because, Peter.  I have to get ready for all of us to leave and all of the Daddies are coming home for dinner and I don't want you on the road without me watching you."  

His little face totally lit up.  "DADDY is coming home??  For dinner??" 

"Oh.  Ohhh, no, babe.  No.  I'm sorry.  I meant… the other daddies are coming home for dinner and I don't want you on the road without me."

"Oh."  And his entire little face fell.  :(

But... we are already over a month down and right now it looks like Chris will be home early June.  We are taking it one day at a time, which is all anyone can ever do, and June will be here before we know it!
