He's leaving on a Jet Plane

But I know when he'll be back again.

That would be Monday.

It is interesting that this is the first time that Caroline has complained that Peter is going away. Before this it was Ok Daddy. See you. And she would wait until he got home again. Today there has not been tears but she is not sanguine about her father going off for a long trip without her. We explain that we are doing a family trip later and then she is going to see my parents.

The next couple of days are going to be just us girls. There are some movies that we want to see and I think we are going to the aquarium for a visit with the sea lions.

Off to be a Mommy which is a title that at the age of 34 I thought I would never have but now at 44 here I am with that lovely title.

I am grateful that I hear the word "Mommy" every day.

I would be lucky if I heard "mommy" at 34. I mean, that's 10 years from now, but we aren't in a rush to have kids...

I doubt I'll ever hear the word "Daddy" at 30 now... but I don't like to predict the future.

Well, I use to, but now I don't...

Aww, that's so sweet. Have a good day with your girl. :-)

I know what you mean. I am too. (Though I still miss the "Mama" phase. "Mommy" sounds a bit more grown up.)

*hugs* my friend.

I love, love, love hearing "Mommy." It's the word that comes next 90% of the time that chills my heart:

"why..."
