Divide and Conquer

Earlier in the week, Corky decided that he wanted to take Gracey golfing this weekend. I was more than willing to agree to that. Not that I want to get rid of Gracey by any means but I barely can remember what it was like to look after one kid. Corky has been pumping Gracey up for this all week and this morning when I was trying to help them get ready to go, she only "wanted Daddy's help." She wanted only him to help with her shoes and sock, with her breakfast, with her coat, and anything else that she needs assistance with. She would have preferred Corky to do her hair too I am sure, but I wasn't going to let that one go! It was pretty cute to watch those two with each other, they make a pretty great team. As Corky said it so perfectly, "Gracey has a daddy-crush this morning!" She sure did. I hope they had fun, I can't wait to hear how their day was. From the sounds of it, Gracey was well behaved through all 18 holes but that is as far as I know.

Meanwhile, back on the home front, Emily and I had a great day! I was able to get the house pretty clean (minus the bathrooms that I am in no mood to clean today) and was able to spend some major one-on-one time with my little girl. Gracey goes to preschool 5 days a week for 3 hours but Emily is usually taking her morning nap through most of that time. Not to mention that I am scrambling to shower and do other things during that time of the day. Anyway, today we had no schedule and I have almost forgotten how much fun it is to have just one kid. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE having two kids....it is never dull and so much fun, but today was such a nice break from the hard work it really is. I got to devote all of my attention to Emily, the way I used to be able to do for Gracey, without worrying that Gracey will be jealous.

I think I hear a car pulling up right now....I can't wait to get the report!

Props to Corky for taking her!! I love when Colby takes Noah for a while and I only have to worry about 1 child. I don't get nearly as much accomplished as you did though!
