I’m Florida-bound today and will be checking out the Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village for Travel Mamas. I committed to the trip before I realized one very important thing: I would be missing the kids’ piano recital. I am particularly remorseful because it is Bode’s first one.
Fortunately, Aunt Lisa came to the rescue, as per this email chain from yesterday.
Lisa: Jamie, I know that Amber is out of town this week, so I’m a little worried how Haddie is going to look for her piano recital (and Bode too but we can’t do much for him J ). This is not to offend you but you are a guy (that’s true). Let me know if you need any help and I can stop by your place before the recital. Are you offended now? I didn’t think so. lol
Jamie: I have never been offended by having less work to do. Especially when it comes to girly stuff. Feel free to swing on by.
Me: AMEN, Lisa. I sent Jamie an itinerary for the week and included on it for them to dress nicely for the recital. I was also worried about Bode going to school every day with bedhead without me there to comb it down so I took matters into my own hands and tried cutting it for the first time yesterday. Those two bald spots on the side of his head will hopefully grow back soon. #NoLie
Jamie: No joke. Our neighbor asked what letters were carved into the side of Bode’s hair yesterday. She asked, “is it a G?” I then began to explain that Bode is a big fan of the Green Bay Packers and that it was a G that he requested on the side of his head.”
Lisa: Oh no. We are not Green Bay Packers fans in this family. I’ll go buy him a hat!!! lol
Jamie: Lol #savebodeshead
Hair grows back, right?
And for the record, I shaved that “G” for Great, which is how he’s going to do at his first recital.
