Mommy's home!

Dennis was certainly glad to see me tonight, though I don't know if he was as happy to see me as he was to see his Pop and Gran. He watched us pull up in the car and yelled exuberant greetings through the screen door at Gran's house. Very cute. And we all got big hugs from him as we came in the door. I sure did miss him while I was gone. David and I took him out to Whataburger (buy one get one free on Monday nights!) and he happily consumed a beef patty and imbibed some of David's Coca-cola when we weren't watching so closely. He was so exhausted when we got home, but he still dragged both of us to the couch and said "want to watch Goofy, want to watch Mickey Mouse". We can't remember the last time we watched anything with Mickey in it, and I didn't know he even knows who Goofy is. But we located our DVD of The Three Musketeers and he drowsily watched it with us until its conclusion (Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are the Musketeers). Then he immediately put himself to bed, barely staying awake long enough for prayers and kisses, though he did tell me "Mommy, kiss my eyes" (weird, I thought) and I complied. It's good to be home.
