My day just got so much better. Mercer called and he would be home early today! yay!! That meant not having to take the baby and boys to the dentist for the girls' appointments. I would leave the baby napping and he would pick up the boys from school later. I met him in the driveway with a quick kiss and a rundown of the plan. I head to the school, pick up the girls, and head toward town. As I'm riding down the road, I see Mercer headed towards me. I slow down so I can wave and maybe get a quick peek of baby as we pass. I wave, I peek, the carseat is empty. The carseat is empty! Ummm....where's the baby? I frantically call his cell. Of course, he doesn't answer. I call again. I call his cell about twenty times. Now I'm questioning myself. Surely, the baby is with him. It was just a quick glance. Now I have two choices. One, go all the way back home and check to see if he forgot the baby OR trust that I have a responsible husband that would NEVER forget the baby. I choose option one. I fly into the driveway, run into the house, go into the nursery, to find...my sweet angel sitting in her crib smiling. HE FORGOT THE BABY! I'm not happy but what fun would it be just to call him and tell him he forgot her. No, it's time for a lesson. I take the baby, put her in the car and we head to the dentist office. He calls (apparently his phone was on silent) and I casually ask him if he picked up the boys. He says yes. I ask him did Vivienne have a good nap and is she being good for him. Silence. "I forgot the baby". Yes, I know sweetie. How do I know? Because she is sitting here with me right now. He shows up at the dentist office about twenty minutes later with an "I'm sorry I forgot our baby" look. The ladies in the office did let out a few laughs when he came in.
