Preston's Week as an Only Child

This week has been very interesting at our house!  With Savannah gone, Preston got to experience being an only child first hand . . and for the most part he did really well and lived it up! 

Monday we were invited to a friend's pool for the morning.  He loved playing with Jake & Luke at the Brookhaven pool.  We had lunch there, changed, and then he went straight to SLIME camp at the YMCA.  Knowing that the afternoon hours might be hard with sissy gone I signed him up for an all-week camp that was from 1:30-5:30 every afternoon.  He loved every second of camp!  After pick up, Dave and I took him out to dinner at Hickory Tavern.  Again, it was very interesting having him with the two of us without Savannah.

Tuesday after his regular play time at the YMCA (while I worked out) we came home and he was super content to just play legos for awhile.  Before we knew it the time had come for camp again . . and then we dressed up as cows for free Chick fil A dinner.  I had a meeting at church so Preston went home with daddy and by the time I got home he was fast asleep in bed.

Wednesday the morning started with his annual well visit with Dr. Baker. He's still growing and developing well (holding steady in the 50th percentile).  There was camp again Wednesday, which by this point, left our little Peanut pretty exhausted.  He had a major meltdown Wednesday night and almost lost his fun outing for Thursday!

John Robert, Preston, and Hamilton (Ben was also there)

Thankfully I didn't completely cancel the Thursday fun because these little guys had a blast at the Y pool!  I did limit the time we stayed there and we came home right after lunch.  After camp pick up today the excitement continued as we went to pick up Dave's new car, Papa Smurf!!  We already had decided on the car, negotiated pricing, sent a down payment along with our ID, insurance, etc . . . so I thought the process of "picking up the car" would be quick!  HA!  It was fun to arrive and actually see the new car though.  And again, Preston loved the attention he received by the sales people and managers.  The finance guy even let him draw a picture on the document pad while we were signing the real paper. :)

Then, at last it was time for Savannah to come home.  We were ALL super excited to see the buses roll into Carmel Friday at 11:30am.  It was a fun week with Preston, but there was just something missing with big sister away.
