Day 9

I guess tonight it finally hit my baby boy that his daddy's gone & it's gonna be a long 9 months.  He said he was mad that it had been over a week and daddy still wasn't even where he's supposed to be yet.  I think he thought his time didn't start until he got to his destination.  Mark has been calling during the day while he's at school, but he called this evening and was able to talk to Kyle for a minute.  So, it was probably just him hearing from daddy after a few days and probably detecting the stress in his voice as well.  I know Mark is ready to get stable, and it shows when we talk.  We were at a friends house eating dinner when he called, and Kyle was  holding it together just barely.  On the way home, right as we pulled on our street, I could see the tears falling freely.  I think he needed a good cry honestly.  He's a tough kid, and all boy... but he is still just a little boy who is having to deal with his daddy being gone.  Praying specifically for Kyle tonight.

Otherwise, today was pretty busy.  Little Lexie had her first experience with diarrhea this morning.  I know you all want to know about it!  Haaa.... I wouldn't tell, but it was so funny that I can't help myself.  She was laying in the floor in the living room watching Sprout, and she JUMPS up, runs to the bathroom and starts taking off her clothes.  I'm watching wondering what happened, because it wasn't a normal situation.  As I'm in the middle of wondering... she yells, looking right at me with complete shock, "mama!  There's something disgusting all in my panties!"..........Yessir, she sharted.  I explained what it was and told her not to trust her poofs today.  So all day, after one more accident, she'd run to the bathroom and get excited when she did just poof.  Yes, we call them poofs.  She's a princess.... princess snot wad 

We'll be up bright and early headed to Paducah to see family tomorrow.  We're excited to spend the day with memaw & see everyone  :)  Good night for now...
