Meghan: Missing Daddy and Roots Tech

Well, it's happened. Justin has decided he's had enough and ditched us.

Just kidding of course! But he did head to San Francisco for a few days to go to a real estate convention. I'm trying to think, but this might be the first time I've spent a few nights alone with the kids (and obviously the first time with two kids). We missed him terribly of course, and Nolan kept asking where daddy was, but we had a good time just the three of us!

napping together at Jeanni's house ♥ ♥

The first night was crazy. We went to Target, then TJ Maxx, then McDonald's for dinner. I know, look at me go! haha. Branson was a champ and slept the whole time. Nolan was incredible and listened really well. He always held my hand when I asked him to and stayed near me at the store. His favorite thing to do at Target is play with the phones and he even put down the phone right away when I asked him to.

We got home and were there for maybe half an hour before I dragged them both to stake women's basketball. It was definitely harder with the kids, but they were good. Nolan kept throwing dodgeballs off the stage onto the court though and didn't really understand why he couldn't, so I finally just gave him the phone as a babysitter and he was perfect from then on haha.

It looks like Nolan documented his time on the stage ☺

When we went to bed that night I told Nolan he could sleep in mommy and daddy's bed (mostly so mommy didn't have to sleep alone haha). He always wants to do that, but we never let him so he was super excited! I am a little worried he'll put up a fuss when daddy gets home and he gets kicked out, but we'll deal with that when it happens. He was seriously so cute and took the "man of the house" directive seriously! He was my little helper without me even asking. If I was looking for a burp cloth or blanket he'd say, "it's right there!" Or, "I'll go get it!" And he was very meticulous about setting up my nightstand for baby branson. He said, "the bottle is right therrrrrrre, and the binky right theerrrrrrr." I even caught him trying to feed branson 2 or 3 times ☺. He would say, "I think he needs a bottle! and would put it in his mouth." SO sweet and cute.
