So, this week Mark was in Columbus for some training. This means that he spent the week investing in being better at his job. He spent the week eating meals on his own (I bet he didn't cut up anyone else's food ) and eating wherever he wanted (he complained that he was tired of eating out by Thursday...wimp). He had lonely evenings all to himself (watching whatever he wanted on TV - after he went to the gym all by himself). He didn't have to make the bed for himself (or anyone else) all week. Why don't SAHM's get this week?
But, he didn't get to hear Charlotte squeal with delight when Ava walked into the room. He didn't get to see her attack every single meal as if it were her last. He didn't get to see her pull herself up by holding on to a wall and cruise down that wall...fast!
He didn't get to see Ava generously give Charlotte her favorite blanket. He didn't get to hear Ava correct herself when she used the incorrect verb tense (yes, this made me proud...you too, Ann?) He didn't get to snuggle and rock Ava when she was too tired to relax and fall asleep.
Thank God, SAHM's do get this week!

Those things that Mark got to do are a luxury for SAHM but compared to what we get to see our little ones (yes they are still little even if they are big!) do everyday is worth it by 100x!!!
