Martinez Family Journal

This was my first night putting Matt to bed since getting back from my conference, and we had just finished his bedtime book. Moments before, I had turned off the light, and laid down with Matt to cuddle for a couple minutes like we always do. Mary had just come home from "Mom's Night Out," and Matt was keen to involve her. Mary popped into the room, and Matt asked her to cuddle with him. Mary said we would all cuddle together, but Matt shot back, "No, Daddy will leave." Can you believe it?!? I was gone for four nights, but Matt's shoved me aside to get with Mommy who was gone for two hours! Where is the justice in that?

Maybe he is trying to make up for saying "Daddy" long before he said "Mommy," eh?
