Putting One Over on Popette

Daddy had work to do at the new house and I had to work all day in Niagara so today was the first full day Declan would spend with Popette. 

When I was done work and arrived just after 6pm to pick him up I asked how he was. The verdict? "Declan was good...for the most part."

What did Popette mean?

"He put one over on me." She said.

Of course I needed an explanation. Turns out Declan and Popette were playing Hide and Seek. Declan would hide and Popette would find, then again he would hide and she would look for him. Then they switched, Popette hid and Declan was to seek. She waited. And waited. When no Declan came looking Popette searched out Declan. What she found was our little guy in front of the TV, he'd stolen the remote and was trying to push buttons. 

What a clever little monkey! 

Declan had a great day. It was sweet to see how happy he was saying his goodbyes to Poppa and Popette when it was time to go. Declan sat on Poppa's knee and watched cartoons, he was up and down the stairs with Popette and he easily went down for a long nap mid-afternoon. He was in such a good mood. He told me all about his day on the car ride home. 

Declan went to bed about 40 minutes past bedtime but he was happy and very tired so he fell asleep fast.

I sure miss him on long work days but I am so glad he had a good day.
