You’d think that after three days in Disney World (after the conference sessions each day, of course) that I would be disappointed to come home knowing that the menu would be items like macaroni and cheese and then being greeted by the news that Mariah was feeling sick. While all of that was true (about the macaroni and Mariah) I am very excited to be back home with the kids, being able to watch Isaac as he runs into the bathroom to lift up the toilet seat for me when he hears me say something about the potty. As far as I know he had never done anything like that before Laura and I left for Florida.
As nice as it is to get away for a while, I can’t believe that anyone would choose to be carefree all the time if they have the option of watching kids grow and surprise you instead.
