Chase needed a few parts for his truck. He called around to a few pick and pulls in the salt lake - ogden area and found one in Ogden that had all of the necessary parts he wanted to find. So we packed our bags! Cole was a champ the whole way down. As long as this kid has food in his belly, he's happy.
Chase called his brother to make sure we could crash there for a couple hours while he went and rolled around in the dirt and grease. April and I ended up going to some thrift stores that day. We got Sam and Cole talking to each other too. They are BFF already, I know it.
After Chase got back and cleaned up we got some dinner. Wanting to take advantage of the fact that there were two perfectly capable individuals right in front of him, Chase asked Chay and April if they would babysit Cole while he took me to a movie. I felt bad but they said everything would be alright. I mean they have 4 kids, they have to know what they are doing so if I was going to leave Cole with anyone I'm glad it was family.
Chase took me to see Man of Steal, the superman movie and it was so GOOD! Loved it. Truthfully I love all of those super hero movies. About 5 mins before the end of the movie April txted me to let me know everything was going good, he cried for a bit but Chay walked him up and down the street outside til he fell asleep. Now, I know, that this was in no way suppose to make me feel bad, it was suppose to give me peace for crying out loud but the minute I read that I burst into tears! Here was my train of thought: Did I feel bad that they had to deak with that...a little. But the tears were more for Cole. I felt bad that I had left him with people that essentially he didnt know and who essentially didnt know him. And when I say know him I mean like I know him. What he likes, what he doesnt like. What makes him happy, what makes him sad. I felt bad that he might have been uncomfortable and I'm sure he knew that I wasnt around when he needed me. Talk about guilt. I just love that little guy. My life just wouldnt be complete without him. I told Chase that we needed more. More children. hahaha. Because eventually Cole was going to grow out of this little baby stage and I am just loving it so much. There is just no way that I can only live through this once and be satisfied.
We went home straight away the next morning before Chase had to go into work. I love these little spontaneous trips.

ReplyDeleteI am glad you you got out....new mom's need time away, even if it is hard. It's good for both you and Cole.
