Time with Daddy and Mommy

Scarlett was so excited to have some single-parent bonding time this past week and not to have to go to preschool. For some reason, she hates going to preschool now. We know that once she's there, she has fun but she complains everyday about having to go. So last weekend, when we told her that she was going to go and visit her aunts and grandma and grandpa with just her dad overnight while her brother and I stay home, she was ecstatic. And after she gets back from her 1.5 day trip with her dad, she gets to go with me on another trip. So Scarlett and I went on a short camping trip a couple of days ago for some mother-daughter bonding time (along with four other mommy friends and their 3-year-olds). It was really fun and nice to just hang out with her. Although, I can't really call it camping because we stayed in a tent bungalow that had a nice bed, had access to clean bathrooms and showers, and ate all our meals at the on-site restaurant. We planned this trip a month ago and really lucked out with the weather. Even though it was really windy and chilly, nevertheless, we had beautiful sunny weather when it had practically rained non-stop the last several weeks. I was lucky that she did not have any meltdowns during our trip. It was a fun experience and definitely worth it to make her feel special.
