Dave and I just returned from 8 amazing days in Maui with our great friends, Bryan and Kari Dady. Blake and Parker spent 9 days with my parents, and my mom only hired a babysitter once so she could drive to a quiet parking lot and eat oreos (and maybe rock herself back and forth?)
Blake was more than okay with us leaving him in the care of Nana and Bopa. In many ways, it is kind of like staying home. My mom doesn't mess around. You talk back, take a toy from your brother or kick the dog, you die. Blake spent the week reassuring Parker that Mommy would eventually come back for him.
Whenever asked where his mommy and daddy were, Blake would reply, "They went to Hawaii to get me a treat. They'll be back."
