Determination

OK so yesterday was going just like most Fridays. I left work to pick up Jacob from daycare and we went home to do our evening routine. However, from there things took a slight left turn.

Metro was having a bad evening and shut down some trains, had trains running late, etc. So, Daddy was going to be home almost an hour late. No big deal, right? Then, Daddy called to say that he reached Shady Grove but had just missed the bus so he would now be another half hour late. Again, no biggie, right?

Wrong. Apparently Jacob really loves it when Daddy gets home. Since Daddy was late getting home, Jacob was waiting, and waiting. He started rubbing his eyes around 6:45 but refused to do anything but play at that point. Not a big problem. Then around 7:20 he really began to rub his eyes and got fussy. I changed him into pj's and tried to feed him but to no avail.

So we went to the front window in his room and watched the lights of the cars going by the house for a good 10-15 minutes. Jacob got really sleepy, but again refused to eat. He continuously looked towards the door of his room as if expecting Daddy to walk in at any moment. He was absolutely determined to wait up for Daddy.

Daddy finally came home at almost 8 and Jacob perked right up! Daddy fed Jacob who passed out rather quickly - all was right with his world again.
