Well, for the first time since having Brenden, we are leaving him for a week. Leaving him with his grandparents of course. We are taking a much needed vacation to Cuba. We leave in about 5 and a half hours from now. By noon on Saturday, we'll be lying on a beach in Cuba. I can see it now. Pina Colada's and big German's with tiny Speedo's. OK, that kind of grosses me out, but oh well. Hot sun, hot white sandy beach, relaxing on our all inclusive vacation. Brenden will get the same. A needed break away from us. Now's a good time for him to start learning that we won't always be the ones taking care of him. Afterall, he needs some non-parent time too.
This being the first time we're spending a week away from him will probably be a good test for us as well. It's hard enough to go 2-3 days without seeing him, and now it's going to be a whole week. It's not like we can just drop what we're doing and leave to go get him. There is no turning back once we board the plane this morning. I think it'll be a bit easier on me, since I am normally working for the most part of the day and only see him 2-3 hours a day as opposed to Michelle who sees him all day everyday. This will be a good test for her. If she starts getting ansy, I'll be sure to force some more drinks into her to mellow her out a little.
Anyway, we'll post a message when we return next week to let you know how the week went, without our son.
Hope it's cold here at home, that way the trip will be more worth it. I can live with 24-27C in Cuba. Not going to like it when we return home though. Lets not think about that right now.
Dos Margarita's Por favor!
