You Can't Fool a Giraffe!

When we got home today, the boys were definitely excited to see their Daddy. "I miss you, Daddy. I love you, Daddy," my Older Son (OS) kept telling the Big Giraffe (BG). Meanwhile, my younger son kept smiling and laughing, and apparently delivered a huge poop as he was being pulled from his carseat to quickly get BG back into the world of diaper changes. There were a minimum of tantrums, but OS suddenly found his whine of choice over the past week had now lost its effect.

OS: Daddy, OS tired. I want to go home and take a nap.
BG: Umm...OS, you are at home. Go right upstairs.
OS: Okay. OS does not need a nap.

As for me, what did I do after spending a week "single parenting" the boys on the beach? 13 hours of sleep!!!!!

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: The idea of taking a child home may often make him feel safer, even if he is already there.
