Separation anxiety

Based on some last-minute decision-making , I am in L.A. this weekend without the Squid. I have mixed feelings about this. I miss him! I have never gone on a trip where I could have taken him and didn't before. And everyone down here is asking me where he is and why I didn't bring him - I've been informed that they won't be letting me in the door next time without an accompanying small person.

On the other hand, it is much easier to rest up from long drives, visit small infants and ninety-something Grammies, and enjoy post-sunset fireworks this way. And he will come down with me for Labor Day weekend, and he and his Daddy are probably going to have an awesome time at home seeing parades and going swimming and having playdates.

Still. My little guy!
