It has been a busy week. I've been working, Drew has been crossing chores off the list I gave him when he arrived last Friday, and he has graciously baby-sat Rachel at night while I visited my former chorus on Wednesday and went out afterward until, gulp, midnight, and then the next night, St. Patrick's, when I FINALLY saw "Black Swan" with my friends Julie and Jeannette. Weird movie. Can't hold a candle to "The Red Shoes" and "All About Eve," two classics that "Back Swan" drew from.
Some Rachel/Daddy exchanges this week:
Drew: You're my favorite little girl!
Rachel: You're my favorite little daddy!
***
(This one is Rachel and Mommy):
Rachel (half-folding her sunglasses and handing them to me): Look, Mommy! A K! (it's true, if you look at half-folded-up sunglasses, they look like the letter 'K"!)
***
Rachel and Drew were playing with some letter puzzles that Constance gave Rachel months ago. Somehow the "J" disappeared. Drew said Rachel went to the front door and insisted he open it because, "maybe the J went outside!"
Rachel: J! J! Where are you, J? Come back, J!
(I found it this morning while Drew took Rachel to get her hair cut. It was on the seat of one of the dining room chairs).
Tomorrow night at 7 we will take Drew to the airport to catch his overnight flight back to NYC. Before then I'm going to get a massage with a gift card that Tia Daniella graciously bought me last year. I've gotten a haircut, too, and tonight Drew promised to mop the floor so I don't have to do it until next week. We've also rented a movie. I am very grateful for the quiet weekend together. I'll be sad to see Drew leave but we'll see him soon, the weekend/week of Passover, and then it will be five weekends until he is home for GOOD in mid-May. The end is coming. I can almost taste it.
