Number Seven

Number seven came to visit us tonight. It's his mommy's birthday and Daddy took her out to see a movie. Seven was happy for the first hour and then he decided it just might be time for Mommy to come back, so he decided to cry. And cry. He did not want his bottle. He did not want his binky. He only wanted Mommy. We tried showing him a video of daddy playing guitar and singing. It distracted him momentarily and then he remembered Mommy and cried a little more. After a while he got tired and took a nap on my lap. When he woke up Mommy had not yet returned and so he decided to cry a little bit more. He really loves his mommy and that is really a very good thing.

  1. That's the nice thing about being a stay at home mom, you're always the favorite lady. I wasn't always the favorite, which was good and bad at the same time. It was nice when Dave and I wanted to go on a date, and when I had to drop them off at Mom's or my mother in law's, but it was bad when I came to get them and they didn't want me to come back yet. Steven went through a stage where he clung to me when I went to leave him, and we had to peel him off. It was right after Michael was born, and it made me sad that I had to leave. Fortunately it only lasted for a week or so.

  4. I have to say that the title "Number Seven" made me think of that mule on that old television show we used to watch. I think it was Grizzly Adams.

    1. I totally forgot about that old mule. Yes, he belonged to that old friend of Grizzly Adams. How funny.

      I do love that Spencer is attached to his mom and dad. That's just the way it should be.
