One of my "mom friends" suggested pulling
Hans out of school for a week in February and taking him and her 5 year old to
Disney World! It would be a mom and son week. I couldn't respond for a few
seconds as such an idea had never crossed my mind in a very long time!
The 4 of us always go on trips together. The only
exception is ASid's upcoming trip during March Break; it is a planned school
trip! Other than that, it has been all inclusive all the time.
Long time ago, when ASid was 2, my mom suggested a trip
to the "Mother Land" - just for ASid, my mom and me. She thought it
would be a wonderful opportunity to immerse her first grandchild in her
language and culture. Craigley was super upset with the idea. He literally
threatened to go away with ASid on another trip - just ASid and him! It was an
unnecessary battle - very silly and childish (when I look back on it now).
Since before that incident and since then, it has always been all inclusive!
However when I mentioned my mom friend's idea to
Craigley, he had a different reaction this time. He gave his blessings for the
trip! But I don't want to go this time around. I have grown to enjoy the family
trips and I know there are only a few left before ASid is off on his post-secondary
journey. So, I am not off to Disney World next month. I am happy being in my
very own castle in Toronto!
On that note, it is still January and it is not too
late to say "Happy New Year"! May this year be the best yet!
