2 parents out of town and a cute conversation.

Robert is going out a couple of hours out of town for a day or two with work so all 3 kids will be at MeMe and PaPa's house overnight while he's away.

The normal situation of children placement when I'm out of town is:

Dinner either with Robert and Meme and Papa, or just Meme and Papa if Robert works late. Then baths and hanging out at home with Daddy, followed by Jack and Kyla being picked up to stay overnight - leaving Kade and Daddy for their "boys nights." Kyla couldn't be pryed away from spending the night there if her life depended on it. She packs for the week, and her mind is set. Jack varies sometimes, and Kade 100% belongs to daddy.

Kade is always invited to go with Kyla and Jack, but always declines the invitation to be with his daddy. He says he like's his own house for sleeping.

Well after Robert called with the details, I called Kyla to tell her... this is our conversation:

Hi Kyla

Hi Mom, what are you doing?
Working, what are you doing?
I'm waiting to go swimming. What kind of work are you doing?
I'm on my computer.
I thought you were at your job.
I am, I'm working on my computer at my job.

At the same time? Wow, that's so cool.

I'm glad you think so. Guess what?
What mom?
Your daddy has to go out of town for work too!
He does, NO WAY! When?
Tomorrow morning. That means all 3 of you will need to stay with meme and papa.

Ooooh - Kade is NOT going to like that AT ALL mom. Not at all.

[now giggling and trying to think of something positive] well maybe since daddy wont be home for him to be able to stay there, he wont be sad.

Ya, probably. Good idea. So have you started a book yet?
Yes, I have.

What's it called?
True Colors.

Do you like it?
I sure do.
Ok mom, I'll try to let Kade know right away. Love you.

Re-reading it, I guess it's not that amazing of a conversation, but when I called to tell Robert about it, we both just cracked up. It's so fun to talk to her on the phone because there is no time spent trying to think of something to say, it just flows and she loves it. Another reminder of how fast she's growing up. I have to leave it on here as a reminder of how it made me smile :)

Quick side note: THANK YOU MOM AND DAD - you guys are the absolute best. xoxoxo
