Caleb and Greg left early Friday to go camping with Greg's brother and his kids and Greg's dad. Caleb has been so excited since they talked about going. Caleb got up extra early Friday morning, the one morning I was to go into work at 10a.m., and dressed himself stating he was ready to go. He left me instructions before they left. "Mommy you have to stay here with Baby Lexie because she can't stay by herself. I want you feed her, and make sure no one takes her. Ok mommy?" He always ensures Lexie is taken care of, like he's the only one who knows what she needs. When I dropped off Lex at daycare, the teacher informed me Caleb leaves her instructions most mornings too. Apparently Caleb tells her "I want Lexie to have mat time and I want her to play with this toy today", as he picks a toy of the day. Greg usually takes the kids to daycare so I didn't realize extra instructions were being given. What a protective big brother she has. She may not appreciate his protectiveness when she's old enough to date, but I think I will love it. Lexie and I have enjoyed hanging out. We went shopping for some summer clothes for Lexie and then lounged around the house the rest of the time. Well what lounging that could be done between nursing every 3 to 4 hours, diaper changes every 2h, and baby food twice a day. At least I didn't have to worry about dinner for everyone and only had one child to bathe and entertain. I finished a book and even watched a few of the shows I had recorded finally. Caleb seems to be having a good time away. I have talked to him a couple of times already and he quickly told me what fun he was having then told Greg "I'm done talking to mommy now" and ran off. I don't think he misses me too much. I'm glad he and daddy are enjoying their boys weekend.
