Well, I survived six days as a single mother while Matt visited his teacher in Anderson Valley, California. Many thanks to Grandpa Steve for extra daycare duty and good friends for some good meals and dog-walking. Theo was pretty good while Dada was away, mostly taking it easy on me with not too many tantrums. We both enjoyed a very kid-friendly barbecue on Sunday where Theo had a ball with well, a big red ball. This morning, the three of us finally reunited over the breakfast table, Theo issued a celebratory proclamation he's said before when enjoying time all together, "mama dada baby!" He points to teach of us in turn, touching his chest when he says baby. This morning Matt said, "yes, you're the baby. Can you say your name, can you say Theo?" And he did! Theo said his own name for the very first time today, skipping over the "ee" sound a bit, but nonetheless, a sparkling rendition.
