Everyone needs to talk to Daddy

So while Aaron is in Little Rock for some training, Brady and I are here by ourselves. We'll be joining him for 2 weeks later this month but until then we are on our own!
Brady just learned how to do a really good pouty face to get me to give him whatever it is he is pouting for. He also knows this time Daddy is gone, that he is GONE and not just at work.

The other day we were in Michael's and he got really quiet and put his head down on his hands in the cart. I asked him what was wrong. He said in the saddest little pathetic voice (with a pouty face) "I miss Daddy a little."
So when we were done there and got home we called him to talk. It made him happy again. Apparently his dog friend missed Daddy too-that's what he told me and handed the phone to him to talk. Luckily, my camera was right on the counter and I grabbed it before the conversation was over.

What a little ham!

Anyway, I have also had to use the same technique I'm sure most Moms have had to use. The "You better behave or I'm calling your Dad!"

Yep.........I'm in THAT club now. How did I get there? It just came out of my mouth. Fortunately, it works!

Luckily, Aaron is only in Arkansas and I can call him on his cell phone. I've had to use it several times before he left while he was at work too. At least he is not in Afghanistan (yet).

So we will carry on here. Brady (and his dog) can call and talk to Daddy whenever he is sad. I guess I can for that matter too! We'll be seeing you soon Daddy! (And if I need to, I'll be calling you to give our adorable and sometimes defiant child a good talking to!)
