Today is Tuesday May 10th. We were supposed to have playgroup today, but when we showed up, none of the other families were there. So, Cody got to play on the huge base playground by himself for a while! He loved it!! It was even better when his friend Lilly showed up and wanted to play with him too!! And of course Maddie and I got time to talk. Those two are so cute! Lilly is such a happy little girl. Cody says, "Mommy, I love Lilly, but sometimes she's loud!" haha To which I reply, " You were too when you were her age....and still are." Lilly is 2. We had a great time playing though, until it got a bit too close to nap time and Cody got cranky. Cranky Cody is not a fun Cody to be around...Let me tell ya!

RETREAT...
I don't mean run away...come back here! I mean reason life on base has to halt at 5 pm every night. I was used to it from every post we lived on growing up, but had forgotten about it for the most part, until we got here and we'd be "running" to the store or playing outside and Retreat would sound and we'd have to stop. And then of course the National Anthem. It's hard to explain to a 4 year old that they have to stop playing when music comes on. To our surprise though, without fussing, Cody did what he was supposed to and stood still and quiet watching Daddy stand still and then stand at attention for the National Anthem. Cody didn't want to put his hand over his heart. He wanted to be a "soldier" like Daddy and stand at attention. So, every day, while in TLF, at 5 o'clock Cody stops what he's doing and in some cases runs outside, and snaps to attention for the National Anthem. He is trying really hard to learn the words too. It is the sweetest thing I think I have ever seen him do.
Tha'sa my boy!!!
