This weekend my mom and I are heading to Chicago for a whirlwind road trip. My friend Tracy is letting us stay in her awesomely located and beautifully appointed place. My mom means the absolute world to me and I'm really looking forward sharing this experience together. As always, leaving Audrey is causing a bit of anxiety. I'm so excited to get away but I worry all the time. But that is what you sign on to when you have a kid. She is changing so much and I cry at least once a week over how immense her sweetness is. Tonight she showed us where the "United Skates" was on the globe and told us she wanted to go to the "Enemy Countwy". It took a while but we figured out she meant the country of Italy. Also, in the picture above where she is pretending to play baseball - about five minutes prior she had taken off like a wild woman running down the sidewalk with only her pants on, hair tangled and whipping in the wind. Keeping clothes and shoes on her may be our biggest challenge as parents. Let's hope so, anyway.
That's all I got to wrap this week. Happy Mother's Day to all the fine mamas I know and to all the moms who bust their asses with little or no support system(s). Being a mom is hard work. Period. I'm glad I have as much help as I do. I love my girl. I love my mom.
