Philip arrived safe and sound yesterday. I found him on my doorstep huddled in his little pink blanket because it was so cold and wet outside.
Unfortunately, Philip and I have been housebound because we’re currently experiencing thunderstorms and high winds (which makes it a tad impossible to go outside and play). At least this is what I’ve been trying to tell Philip but all he does is eye the wonderful yard toys and sigh. I know he wants outside. I know he deserves to play on Zee’s trike and swingset, and such, but it’s wet out! I keep trying to tell Philip mud is no good. But he seems determined to play in it. I’ve had to keep a VERY close eye on him for fear that he’ll slip outside when I’m not watching.
I’ve tried to no avail to sit with him and read quietly. I even built a fire so we could snuggle — but no dice. Guess I’ll have to get out the umbrella and raincoat today because Philip’s flight is scheduled to leave tomorrow morning.
