We went to dinner with our small group last night. Merry arrived right on time, as we were struggling to try to feed Jesse some English muffin pizzas. He was having none of it. And then Merry walked into the kitchen and he was happy to see her until he realized that seeing her meant Mom and Dad were leaving. That’s when his lower lip went into full on pout mode.

I really need to take a picture of him when he screws up his face like that. It’s amazing how frowny he gets - every muscle in his face is in play and it’s fun-ny.

So he started crying like his heart was breaking into a thousand pieces. We kissed him, said we’d be back, and went to dinner. Merry was left to fend for her own dinner, which ended up being a Totino’s pizza, which she shared with Jesse.

We enjoyed our time with our friends and got home a couple of hours later. As I drove Merry home I asked how long Jesse cried after we left. She said, “As soon as you pulled the door closed he stopped and gave me a big grin.” Poser.

She said he ate well and they had a good time playing before she put him to bed. That’s a good thing - we’re hiring her to watch him while we look at houses on Saturday and then she’ll sit him again next week when we go to the Glenn Beck comedy show simulcast.
