El Nino's Big Adventure

I had planned this weekend for months. Grandma and dad agreed to give mommy some much needed time to herself. A friend, Auntie J, offered me her apartment while she travels in China and Tibet. She only asked that I water her "plant friends" as she calls them. So after putting el to bed on Friday night, mom was off for her weekend of rest. And boy, did I rest! After waking up on Saturday morning, I took a two hour nap. After lunch and a little leisure reading, I took a three hour nap. And then I still went to bed at 10 o'clock that night. How's that for sleep deprivation? And I thought we (el and I) were doing quite well with our sleep routine. But I guess you can always get more rest.

I returned home Sunday afternoon to find daug, el nino, and dad asleep in the bedroom and grandma quietly reading in the living room. It looked like everybody but me had an exhausting weekend. And as I suspected, my son is an excellent example of living in the present and had absolutely no problem with mommy being gone for two days. But also, not unexpectably, we were both very pleased to be in each other's company again.
