It's hard to believe that Tyler is now safe and sound with his Mom and Dad and it has been 4 weeks that we had him. Today I actually welled up thinking about:
No more rides on the tractor with grampa during the week.
No more putting him on the pool table to change that first diaper of the morning after taking him out of his porta crib in the pool room where he slept.
No more, food all over the kitchen floor.
No more putting the blue crocs on his little feet that his sitter bought him from the Dollar General because his shoes were too small and I can't tell you how many times in 4 weeks we put those things on and took them off.
No more bath time in the garden tub and wrapping babies in the towel when grampa lifted him out for gramma.
No more playing "Darling" and his running down the hall into my arms and me yelling "Darling" (He loved that game.)
No more protecting my antique milk bottles on the back porch while he strategically put them through the railing and dropped them to the grass 14 ft below.
No more up the slide backwards and down the slide on his belly.
No more gramma being frantic while he scaled the stone driveway all by himself, never falling once. Guess it was his magic crocs!
No more kisses for Gramma ONLY after Grampa got his first. (And who got him up and took him to daycare everyday - and Gramps still got the kisses first.)
No more filling the endless cups of Juicy Juice.
4 weeks of diapers, wipes, juice, graham crackers... $150
Gas to and from Daycare 4 weeks... $200
Seeing that sweet boy smile, priceless!
We are going to miss him so much.
