When we were parting ways in Chattanooga, Carter knew something was up when "E" got in the car with Nana and Pop. He started balling and saying "my sister, my sister". He was so upset! He followed my parents car with his eyes and was crying, pointing and screaming NO my sister! It broke my heart. Luckily it was short lived. It lastest about 10 minutes. Then we got him calmed down and on to other things. At this point I was a little nervous at how the week would go. He seemed so lost without her, but it was also when I realized exactly how good this week would be for him. He needed to learn a little independence from "E".
Matt had driven down to Chatty and so I offered to drive back to Nashville. Carter has always been our quieter child so we thought Matt would get in a good nap on the way back. Well....not so much. Turns out he isn't quiet at all. His big sister just suppressed him a bit. He didn't stop talking the entire 2 hour ride home (or the whole week for that matter). Needless to say, Matt didn't get in a nap. :)
The rest of the week, he was king of the castle! He enjoyed having mommy and daddy all to himself. He would wake Matt up at 5:15 wanting to play golf. So, they would hit balls until I came home from the gym. It was precious and he has a good little swing. Then it was off to school. I decided to take Friday off work to have some one on one time with him. We went to the zoo, met daddy for lunch and after naptime "E" was home!!!
