It has been just over two months since I last hosted a child in my home. And, actually, it has flown by.
There's a lot of beneficial aspects to being "single," as I've started calling it. For one, I don't step on Legos in my bare feet anymore. And I drink a lot of margaritas while watching Orange is the New Black whenever I want to.
But, it hasn't been so extremely fantastic that I could continue being "single" forever. I'm already starting to crave having a kiddo around to build forts with. Even if it means spending my free time after work scraping peanut butter out of the leather couch. Bring on the Spaghetti O's.
And like magic, I got a phone call today. "The Phone Call" always seems to come at the right time. Little Bambino just turned 2 last week and he is coming to stay on Monday for 3 weeks. He will be going to "school" during my working hours close by.
So, I basically have the weekend to run around Chicago looking for Spiderman/Transformer/Hot Wheels/Elmo junk, while attempting to consume enough adult conversation/tacos/Coronas to get me through the next month.
Already in the plans? A Cubs game July 28th, trip to Lake Geneva July 20-21st, Halsted street art fair....and probs plenty more. It will be entertaining (if that's the right word) to discover how a 2 year old can handle any of that.
Enjoy your summer!
