when i was still inside mommy’s tummy, she took me on airplane trips to fun places like austin, seattle, dallas, and san diego.  i was traveling with her up until 6 weeks before i was born!  but lately, we haven’t gone anywhere.  sure, we go on fun car trips, but i haven’t been on an airplane since my birthday.

yesterday, mommy had to go to work in dallas.  i wanted to go with her, and even daddy wanted me to go with her, but she said no.  so instead of flying out the night before her meeting, she flew to dallas and back in the same day.  crazy, huh?  mommy left the house at 4:30am and got home just before midnight.  she says that she scheduled it that way to make things easier for daddy, but i think the truth is that she didn’t want to be away from me overnight.  since mommy usually works from home, yesterday was the first time she was away from me for more than 3 hours.

i missed having mommy around, but i had a  good time playing with my nanny and koda all day long.   i even wrote mommy 2 emails and texted her a photo of myself so that she would know that i was thinking about her.  koda was a copydog and he wrote mommy an email too.

when daddy came home from work, we got to hang out for a couple of hours before my bedtime.  everyone thought that daddy was going to have such a hard time taking care of me all by himself, but he handled it like a pro.  in fact, i think we should have more one-on-one guy-bonding time!  we texted mommy a photo so she wouldn’t feel left out of all the fun we were having without her.

we all made it through the day okay.  i didn’t eat very much though, cuz milk just doesn’t taste the same coming out of a bottle.  daddy says the same thing about diet coke.  i think mommy had the roughest time out of all of us.  she had to pump milk throughout the day so that she could continue to make milk for me.  when the old TSA agent questioned her about her breast pump and battery pack, mommy offered to demo it for him   haha, she’s so funny!  the worst part of it all was that mommy couldn’t even save the the milk that she pumped.  she had to flush it down the toilet.  waaah!  that’s my foooood!

when mommy came home at midnight, i was zonked out.  but when i woke up for my next feeding, i was sooo happy to see her that i didn’t want to go back to sleep — i wanted to stay awake all night and spend time with mommy.  so i did.

i hear that kids my age often have separation anxiety, but i think that mommies get bad cases of it, too.  i wonder what will happen next week when mommy has to go to work in austin for 2 WHOLE DAYS.  eek!!!
