Owen has been working over time lately. But things are back to normal at work so life is getting back to normal as well. Since Owen was working late, Andrew hardly got to see him, which made Andrew more of a momma's boy. So Owen drafted a plan and it has worked. It started two weeks ago with an Andrew and Daddy morning. They went to McDonalds - had pancakes and played in the playground, then they went to the fire station. The Firefighters let them come in and look all around the fire truck. They got to touch everything and anything they wanted. They turned on the sirens - really the whole kit and kaboodle. Then, Owen took Andrew to the train station in downtown Hattiesburg. Andrew got to run around, get in a train car and play. They were gone for 3 or so hours. Mom and Sam enjoyed our time too. We slept!!!
This past weekend Owen took Andrew to Academy Sports and bought a bike trailer so Andrew and Sam can ride in the back. Andrew LOVES the trailer. Owen said he would scream in delight like he was on a roller coaster. I think Andrew has discovered that Dad is Fun and now wants to be with him all the time. He still needs me of course - but it is nice to see him want Owen too. It helps all four of us out :)
